Stan McNabb Automotive serving Tullahoma, TN has been talking up the 2012 Buick Verano for some time now...not that it needs talking up. Unlike previous Buick models, the attractive Verano appeals to generations younger than the AARP crowd. At the same time, it retains the library-quiet interior and plush comfort on which Buick has built its brand. Needless to say, we've been eager for the small sedan to join our new Buick lineup since we first laid our eyes on it. Now that it's here, we can confirm it's even better than we expected.

Under the hood, the 2012 Buick Verano features a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder ECOTEC engine, which is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox to put out 180 horsepower. It also comes with stability control, USB connectivity, Bluetooth, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, OnStar, remote vehicle start, steering-wheel mounted controls, leather steering wheel and AC. All that - and it starts at just $23,470! Hard to believe, we know. And, it gets even better...

Outside, the new 2012 Buick Verano is distinguished by soft curves, a sculpted hood and striking waterfall grille. In terms of exterior colors, drivers have the option of going subdued with Quick Silver Metallic, Summit White, Black Onyx, White Diamond Tricoat (premium), or bold with Crystal Red Tintcoat (premium). Inside, color options, consist of neutral Medium Titanium and Cashmere.
