Buick is making the all new 2012 Verano "smarter," as well as  smaller.

Placed under Buick Regal and Lacrosse sedan in size and pricing, this Opel (European GM) based car is anything but economy. Drivers will discover textured, quality materials inside. An Infotainment system, as well as the most comfortable seating in its class, help occupants forget the trim level they're in.

Comfort is key, and Buick uses state of the art materials both inside and out. Just ask Boston.com: "Verano doesn't float along on roads, the way old Buicks did. This new model rides solidly via a suspension -- independent MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam in the rear -- that keeps the car body planted over bumps."¹

Underneath the hood, GM places a 2.4-liter four cylinder engine. With 170 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque (at 4,900 rpm), the direct injection powerplant averaged 25.5 MPG (21 city, 32 highway).

The all new Buick Verano is coming to Walser Buick GMC - Roseville, located at 2775 Long Lake Road in Roseville, MN 55113 this month, with base models starting at $23,470.
