Hot rodders have a love/hate relationship with GM’s Buick brand. Through the years, Buick has alternated between mild-mannered family transportation and performance standout. Under GM’s corporate umbrella, Buick has historically nestled tightly between Pontiac—GM’s first step up from entry-level Chevrolet—and Oldsmobile, the near-luxury brand that was one step below Cadillac. If you’re keeping score, that makes Buick’s little-in-the-middle role a major balancing act; through the performance years and into the current regime, Buick has had to juggle the right amount of value, performance, and luxury, sometimes hitting the guardrails of its lane with consequences, and other times kicking ass at the expense of its GM siblings.
