[Astra RL]

I think that this car will do well for Buick. Some have stated a $28000 base price this is not TL and ES competition this is TSX and 9-3 pricing which is not the intended competition. A $33,000 price would undercut the two but only by a few hundred dollars. With this configuration a 3.2DI 275 HP six speed combo should be standard on CX and CXL the CX would come with leather and the LCD screen but no nav, and 17 inch wheels and heated/cooled front seats. CXL should add the nav in addition to heated rear seats maybe features like laser cruise control and 18 inch wheels. The CXS features a 3.6DI 320 HP six speed combo with all of the CXL fare, plus AWD a sportier suspension and 19 inch wheels. On top would be the ULTRA trimline with all CXS features plus the addition of cooled rear seats and adjustable suspension. Ultra should also include semi-analine leather power rear sunshade and keyless entry linked preference settings and a fancy park assist.
In my structure I would like to see the prices as follows.
CX - $33,000
CXL - $38,000
CXS - $44,000
ULTRA - $49,000
I see this happening with a MCE in the CTS for 2010 upgrading it to be more like the 5 series/E class price (starting in the low $40,000's)
Also the RWD Park Avenue/Electra could start around $55,000 and extend to possibly the low $80,000 range to compete with the LS and the proposed $70,000 RWD V8 Acura RL. Also with an upper $60,000-$100,000 STS replacement there would be little overlap above too.
NOTE this is what I would like to see, and what I hope happens.
