Upscale cars, downscale prices

Globe and Mail Update

The Buick Enclave crossover SUV (sport-utility vehicle) is the quietest vehicle in its class. Quality is good, too. And the design is among the best in the segment.

Best of all, Buick has a rich deal for Enclave buyers. The right customer is eligible for nearly $8,000 is cash discounts – including a $4,200 factory-to-dealer rebate and a $1,000 Loyalty Bonus for current GM owners.

Lexus also has a very tidy $3,000 cash discount available on the ES 350, Infiniti has $1,500 on the EX35 crossover and Dodge has more than $7,000 on the table for buyers who push hard in negotiations on a 2010 Charger sedan.
