CR31875ParticipantMost people over 60 (especially men) don’t want to stand out in a crowd (notice the men over 60 who exclusively wear Earth-tone polyester clothing), and most Buicks from the ’80s until recently have very non-descript styling.
Also, as people age in this country, they tend to get overweight, have health issues and limited physical mobility, and Buicks don’t sit too low or too high and are mid- to large-size cars with large doors and bench seats, which make the car easy for someone with limited flexibility to get in and out of. Imagine your grandparents trying to get in and out of a Corvette!
Also, Baby Boomers and the World War II generation are the last Americans to be brand loyal. For people over 50, Buick has been a status symbol of quality and luxury throughout their lifetime.
Not only that, but Buick Park Avenues are one of the most luxurious cars in the world, even if American cars don’t carry as much ‘look at me’ factor as foreign makes.
Finally, there’s the cost. The average Buick is $25k, while the average Benz or Lexus is $40k. Why pay $20k more when you are not getting $20k more? Keep in mind that aging Baby Boomers don’t care about looking like a ‘Gangsta Rapper’ with ‘Bling Bling’ or ‘glossing’.
