There's no denying that Buick made a bold move when they decided to make the 2012 Verano. The compact segment has rarely been known for producing luxurious vehicles, but that didn't stop the American automaker from giving it a go. Now in its introductory model year, the Verano has officially landed at dealership lots across the country, including Grand Buick GMC Kia, serving the greater Denver and Thornton area, and it's already making a huge impact.

Just how much do drivers love the Verano? While sales numbers are still hard to gauge at this time, we can turn to a couple of solid reviews that the vehicle has received thus far for some insight. More specifically, both Kelsey Mays of Cars.com and Malcolm Gunn of the West Palm Beach Post praised the Verano on a number of levels, ranging from the vehicle's fuel economy to power ratio to its price, which is sure to attract a slew of youth buyers who hadn't previously considered a luxury vehicle to be within their range.

"It is so refreshing to have a vehicle like this in our lineup that adds to the renaissance of Buick," says one dealership owner who stands firmly behind the new model. "It meets a lot of needs, and it is a perfect vehicle for so many of our customers."¹
