Attention luxury car drivers in the greater Mishawaka area! The highly-anticipated 2012 Buick Verano has finally launched and is available now at Gurley Leep GM Giant, located at 215 W. Douglas Rd..

Coinciding with the luxury sedan's grand entry to the market, Buick launched a very helpful tool for prospective Buick Verano drivers: the Buick Verano Configurator. Located at http://www.buick.com/verano-luxury-sedan/build-your-own.html?x-zipcode=48047, the Configurator allows consumers to explore the vehicle's three different equipment groups - Verano, Convenience and Leather - and play around with all available options, ranging from exterior colors to interior colors to accessories. Though, if you want our opinion, the base-level Buick Verano is pretty well equipped, even without all of the add-ons.

It's powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that pumps out 180 hp. Its six-speed automatic transmission is electronically controlled with overdrive. And, while the all-new Verano delivers a luxe look, thanks to attractive curves, 18-inch wheels and a striking waterfall grille; it offers serious measures of convenience and safety. Among the most compelling are: stability control, USB port, Bluetooth, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, OnStar, remote vehicle start, steering-wheel mounted controls 7-inch color touch-screen radio with Intellilink.

The Buick Verano Convenience Group features all of the goodies made standard in the base model, plus Rear Park Assist, auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, heated mirrors, and six-way power driver seat. Adding on the Base Verano and Convenience Group, the Leather Group showcases a Bose premium nine-speaker sound system, E-Z Passive Entry with push-button start, heated front seats and steering wheel, and premium leather seat trim.

Sounds appealing? Come down to Gurley Leep GM Giant to learn even more. Conveniently located at 215 W. Douglas Rd., we're happy to share complete specs, compare the Verano with other new 2012 Buick sedans (i.e., the 2012 Buick LaCrosse and 2012 Buick Regal), and arrange test drives.
