There is no comparison in driveability. The 2.5 is loud (almost intrusive) in comparison to the V6. The 3.6L offered a smooth quiet ride with a long deep torque curve. It’s not that the 2.5 lacks power, it’s just noisy and annoying to drive. Not what you want when spending this type of money. Clearly Noise Vibration and Harshness is no longer on GMs concern list. Disappointing.

Not to mention the likely reduction in reliability by using forced induction. Another commenter mentioned the new turbo 4s requiring premium fuel, another additional expense to the consumer. Without a full size offering, and with all the dealer franchise buyouts, I think the future of Buick is bleak. Maybe that is considered the price of progress for the EV revolution, but it makes me sad. I always liked Buick as an affordable, practical, reliable, value oriented, luxury alternative to Cadillac.
