Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada













Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 20, 2008 -- Jerome "Junk Yard Dog" Williams' (JYD) custom 2008 Buick Enclave "Urban CEO Edition" has been making the rounds in Canadian car shows including the Toronto Speed-O-Rama, the Canadian International Car Show February 15-24 and the Performance World Custom Car & Truck Show March 14-16, 2008. For two months the Urban CEO Edition Buick Enclave will be featured in Toronto's largest and best custom car shows exhibiting with GM.

Since his retirement from the NBA, Jerome Williams has gained recognition as a custom car designer and aficionado and was asked by Buick last year to customize the award winning Enclave for the SEMA 2007 convention.


"As an events producer, looking for features has always been a challenge. After working with Jerome Williams during the Speed-O-Rama Show in Toronto, it's obvious that his passion and work ethic on the court extends to the automotive culture." said Edmund Manasan, CEO of Racemode, Inc. and automotive industry enthusiast.


The Canadian International Car show is the next stop for the Urban CEO Edition Enclave February 15-24 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
"Toronto is still like home for me and bringing the Enclave to the various Canadian shows is like sharing the next phase of my career and passion for custom cars with my Canadian family," said Williams. "I would like to thank GM Canada, Speed-O-Rama, The Canadian International Car Show, Performance World Custom Car and Truck Show and Race Mode, Inc. for bringing me and the Buick Enclave to town for the shows."


The Performance World Custom Car & Truck Show will also exhibit the Buick Enclave in the GM booth March 14-16 at the International Centre, Toronto, Ontario.

The wheels look silly and the white monotone paint makes it look plainer than normal.

Re: Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

I don't think the white is a good color for the Enclave. The ones that I have seen, just kinda wash out the curves and the curves make this car.

Re: Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

Manasan is a really great guy.
Ive known hime for many years. Its wonderful to see Racemode evolve from a small web-based message board similar to GMI to the promotions company it is now.
We can also thank him for many of the Quebec-hosted CSCS events as well as the SCP shows held at Sade Olympique in downtown Montreal.
On that note, lol, shave the handles and bag that sh¡t!!!

Re: Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

Why do all the car companies have to encourage the "ghettofying" of their vehicles??? Don't they know it makes their cars just look stupid? Like with the Expedition Funk Master Flex version! It just makes people with intelligence not want the car because the car will have the status of ghetto ie Chrysler 300C.. you can change the grill, but it still won't make it a Bentley people!

These pictures just make me wish Buick was killed even more!

Do it in Cocoa Metallic on 22"s and integrate the sub better. That would be perfect.

Re: Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

when will GM finally stop with those AWFUL exterior photoshops of their new models? They are better than Ford's chops, but at least Ford usually releases the actual images first and has the shameful chops buried in the full galleries.

They make special editions to appeal to certain market groups, which is smart from some satnd points, because a customized version of a vehicle will make a person but the vehicle because it is a gret vehicle, but also because this one stands out from the regular one.

I agree, they took a nice looking vehicle and made it look ridiculous.

"Ghettofying" as you put it (rather accurate) is the vinal roof of the 2000s. I love how everyone trashes that and yet they jump on this like it is the greatest thing ever.

Agreed on the wheels. Awful... I'd rather have white walls.

Re: Enclave "CEO Urban Edition" Touring Canada

I saw it at the show alongside a G8 and it looked pretty good in person. If it helps sell a few more, then good.

This is actually the ancestor of these pimped out CUV's. Totally awesome.
