You and me both, Morris. I like the bigger grill, a throw back to my 2013 Enclave. They also ditched the stupid shifter, kudos. The infotainment screen is bigger also on the 2022 and the seating looks more plush. Hope they don’t ditch the wood on the steering wheel. I’m upgrading as soon as the 2022 lands. Selling my 2013 with only 35K miles to a friend.

I pussed out Morris and copped a 2021 Avenir yesterday, in Rich Garnet Metallic. Even though they deleted the air ionizer and better twin clutch AWD system in all 2021 Enclave Avenirs. The good news is, I got a ton of discounts and 0% financing. Also, I used the 18K from the sale of my 2013 Enclave as the down payment. I decided I didn’t like the exterior of the 2022 model as much as the current one.

@@rhar1044 Enjoy! I'm waiting for the 2022 still.

Okay Morris, the 2022 Enclave for NA was revealed today. Final verdict: I’M GLAD I GOT THE 2O21. The front end is fugly, they got rid of the wood steering wheel (cost cutting), the new faux wood trim on the doors looks even faker, they ditched the chrome exhaust pipes (further cementing their descent into minvandom), lol. The push button setup is okay and the quilt on the seats is a plus also, but the overall appearance is less truck like and more minivanish. I made mine Carplay wireless with a dongle and I’m so glad I have my wood leather steering wheel and truck like appearance. Good luck with that.

@@rhar1044 Enjoy. I'm waiting for the 2022 version.

Using 1850's technology for the sun roof shade is terrible.

As the price increase on Buick models the floor gets bumped at Cadillac.

With no Heads up Display is the reason I won't buy it" my old 05 Buick Park Avenue has heads up Display with moisture sensor wipers' Maybe I wait gor the 2022 Enclave' hopefully it will have them options so I can upgrade to a New Buick vehicle from my old Buick Park Avenue

The Avenir does have a HUD display

I have a 2012 Enclave with articulating headlights 230,000 miles. I'm shopping 1 year in advance of my replacing it. I hope my next one lasts as long.

Yes

Buick has been tops for years now. www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/02/14/jd-power-2018-dependability-study/333275002/

@@normt430 its good to hear about that finally Buick beats quality of auto industry

@@ThamilNesan "...when it comes to long-term reliability in particular, Buick has absolutely decimated their supposedly more fashionable family member. While most older Cadillacs rival old Kias when it comes to long-term quality, Buick is ranked #1 in our study when it comes to one important metric. Length of ownership. For active brands, the oldest trade-in on average in our study covering nearly 1,300,000 vehicles is not a Lexus or a Mercedes, it's a Buick. The reason is while a lot of premium brands try to pursue greatness to an audience that tends to have a more fickle and transient nature towards car ownership, Buick has been able to focus on what I would call 'fine'-ness towards a more conservative audience that simply looks for a car that can comfortably do the job. If you ask an owner of an older Buick what they think of their car, the answer you're likely to receive is someone in the realm of, "It's fine". There really isn't a lot of love for an older car that is created for conservative tastes. But for those who consider cars to be little more than a comfortable intermission between going here and there, Buick has fulfilled that reasonable expectation better than nearly everyone else...." thedrive

@@normt430 Thank you for time Norm for Buick vehicles, Enclave is my dream vehicle but if it my God's will I will buy his grace

Wrong! On the Avenir it is actual ebony wood.

@@hankspank222 No, it's not. I own one.

When you factor in the 25-30% off sales. Buick offers the most for the less and it is seen at trade-in time.

@@normt430 Not really, they are overpriced.. can get a similar, rav4 or Forester for the same price as a encore cx and they both have way better reliability ratings and much higher resale values..

r8 is about 200k on the other hand c8 is below than 60k and don't forget c8 is never less than r8. go and buy audi volvo suv.... leave gm products alone

My 2012 Enclave just turned 230,000 miles on it. In fact I changed out the alternator and starter at 200,000 miles just because I travel a lot. I still get 21-22 mpg on the highway. I also use Amsoil products for all fluids, with an Amsoil oil filter.

The Enclave is at the top of 3-row luxury segment in Consumer Reports rankings.
