Stop-Start is a nuisance...but the aim is quite simple....
looking at the vast car parks, sorry, traffic queues, in many major cities and seeing hundreds of stationary cars with engines running, stop start helps to avoid large quantities of noxious stuff floating into the air.

Yep. The Buick Regal TourX is an Opel, JR, and now that GM has sold Opel the Buick-badged Opels are almost certainly history in the U.S. I think I read, but can't remember for sure, that the TourX's cancellation has already been announced. If someone knows for sure, or knows that I'm wrong, please let me know.
I was really interested in the TourX because I'm a lifelong wagon fan, but the price was well over $40K and the stop-start feature, while a worthwhile one, isn't something I'd care to have in Austin traffic.

I understand/appreciate the concept but I absolutely hated driving one.

The 1955 Buick is my favorite year by far. Prefer the Century/Special though.

I will be the judge of that, and, in any case, I will be the one to decide about such nonsense being allowed in MY car. If needed, a wire snip would get rid of this dumb gadget.

What the hell - our generation won't suffer...just our kids and their kids...
sorry Mike but climate change and all that it brings is real and it's about time everyone accepted it. There, end of rant, now back to other stuff and I won't mention it again. Apologies for any offence - not meant.

No cancellation has been announced. The LaCrosse and the Cascada have been canceled. But, as cool as the Tour X is -- and I'd love to have one -- GM will eventually cancel it, saying that passenger cars no longer sell. . . . To that I must reply that it would have helped if there were a shred of marketing and advertising support for this model. Most folks never even know that it exists. And Rick is correct; the dealers don't stock them and seem to have little interest in selling them.
