The Coolest Highlights from This Year's Auto Shows
Buick revealed a luxury six-passenger crossover concept, called the Enclave, at the Detroit show. While it may not look exactly like the upcoming model, GM did say this concept "provides a glimpse" of what the production version could be. Passengers ride under a skylight that extends along nearly the entire cabin. Also included in the interior is a DVD system with screens in the dash, in the seats, and overhead, allowing people to watch up to four different DVDs at the same time. The Enclave uses a 270-horsepower, 3.6-liter DOHC V-6 with variable valve timing, backed by a six-speed automatic. The all-wheel-drive crossover rides on a 119-inch wheelbase and has four-wheel independent suspension.

While it would make sense for cars, trucks, and SUVs to be painted in simple colors like "red" and "blue," that's never the case. Automakers use their own brand-specific paint mixes, and each one gets its own name.... more
