There is a reason why all of a sudden, orange is all the rage. It started with Lady Gaga and her collaboration with Calvin Harris on the song “Apesantōs”. The pop star wears an orange dress with black trim and white polka dots while performing the song. People went crazy for the song and the overall collaboration, and it hasn’t stopped since. Since then, designers have found a way to work orange into their looks. Celebrities have been spotted wearing it, too. One of the most recent people to sport the color is Robert Pattinson, who is often mistaken for being Roman Catholic. That’s because he was baptized as such, but he actually converted to Buddhism. Still, it seems that whenever he wears orange, he ends up looking like a Christian anyway.
The ‘Buick Verona’ Is the Most American SUV in Europe
It’s the most American SUV in Europe
One of the best things about living in Europe is that there is such a variety of cars. Sure, we got our classic British cars and German luxury cars, but there are so many other makes and models that you can explore. While we may not always want to admit it, cars are a source of pride for the people who drive them and the people who see them. Maybe it’s time for you to bring a pride and joy of your own. With the right choice, you can get an SUV that will remind everyone of America. But you have to choose your own version of the country you represent. The only way to do this is by looking at the cars that are actually available for purchase in your country.
It’s the most American SUV in Europe because it most closely resembles the one that we are used to seeing in the States. The similarity between the two cars is undeniable. No matter which way you look at it, you’re going to see a family resemblance. It’s hard to imagine that someone could produce an SUV that looks so much like an American car yet is built in a country that doesn’t produce automobiles. For whatever reason, General Motors decided to build an SUV that looks like a Chevrolet Suburban, but with European styling. The result is the Verona. Let’s take a look at some of its key features.
Fully Loaded Capacities
One of the defining features of the Suburbans are their fully loaded capacities. The idea is that these vehicles are built with high-capacity trunks and seats so that you can transport a lot of people and a lot of gear. The Verona follows suit, offering seven passengers (including the driver) and ample cargo space. This may not seem like a big deal, but in a country where most cars are built with just two or three passengers in mind, this is a big deal. It indicates that General Motors is committed to making cars that can seat at least four, if not five or more people. This is something to be commended.
Fully Equipped For Camping
A couple of years back, when the economy was doing well and people had more money to spend, General Motors decided that they wanted to increase their profit margins by catering to the needs of American car enthusiasts who were going to be traveling abroad more often than not. As a result, they equipped all of their SUVs with items such as rooftop tents, kayaks, and bear spray.
While this may sound like an unusual addition to an SUV (which, let’s face facts, is usually used to transporting people and cargo), it’s the kind of thing that American car fans have been asking for. It would be wonderful if, when you’re driving down the road and you come across a sudden rainstorm, you can pull over, set up your tent, and enjoy your stay in a luxury hotel with a friend or two. Believe it or not, there are people who want to do this. It’s the stuff of dreams for those who love the outdoors and the freedom that comes with it. If you’re one of these people, keep your eyes open for a Verona, especially if it’s a late-model model and it still has its original equipment.
Solid Metal Hub Covers
If you’ve ever seen a car that has been in an accident, then you know how vulnerable the outside of the vehicle can be. This is why most cars nowadays have some type of body panel that covers the metal from head to toe. It offers better protection in case of a collision. The Verona has some very unique metal hub covers that protect the wheels and make it look like a fully wrapped cake. They are made from a solid metal that is painted on the inside to blend in with the exterior finish of your car. These covers are thick and substantial enough to protect your vehicle from most collisions, but they don’t prevent you from being able to park in the most crowded places. This is why it’s best to still have a license plate on display even if you have these body panels installed.
Rear Spoiler
Another way in which the Verona differs from a standard Suburban is in the rear. Where the latter has a hatchback, the former has a hard shell that projects forward, covering the trunk area and offering some protection from the rain as well as improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Another difference is that the rear cargo area on the Verona is accessible from the outside thanks to a ramp that connects the two areas. This makes loading and unloading cargo much easier than trying to figure out where to put things inside the car manually. It’s a pain to have to move everything around because there’s no room. This is why it’s best avoided if you are carrying a lot of gear with you.
Dark Tinted Windows
General Motors doesn’t just stop at the metal hub covers on the Verona. They also equipped it with tinted windows. This is optional on their part but it offers better vision for the driver and passengers, especially in the rainy season. The interior of the vehicle is also more brightly lit, which makes it easier to keep track of where you are going and what’s going on around you. It also makes it more comfortable for long trips, especially if the weather is nice. Dark tinted windows are commonly found on luxury cars, so it’s not surprising that General Motors decided to outfit their SUVs with them. It’s the little things, right?
Smoker Packages
If you or a friend happens to be a smoker, then you know that it’s not easy to keep the habit under control. This is why all the major car manufacturers offer special packages of cigarettes that you can purchase and install in your car. It’s also the reason why most gas stations offer cheap cigarettes and other tobacco products for sale. These vehicles are built with more room than most, so it’s reasonable to expect that they would at least come with a couple of packs of cigarettes. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy your trip and the freedom that comes with it, then it might be worth looking into the possibility of installing a few packs of cigarettes in your car.
Heated Seats
Finally, let’s not forget about the heated seats. Most manufacturers have started offering these as standard equipment on their sedans and luxurious SUVs because why not? It’s almost like the air inside your car is priceless, and you should be able to enjoy it while driving. These are great for those long trips where you’re stuck in traffic or just driving for the sake of it. They also come in handy in the winter when it gets chilly inside the car. It’s best to have them on all vehicles regardless of whether you drive in the summer or winter because it can get really chilly inside cars that aren’t properly heated up. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if you’re heading into a cold weather environment. These seats are usually powered by electricity, which means that it’s responsible for any accidents that may result from a wiring malfunction. Make sure that you always check and see if this feature is required on the specific model of car that you’re looking into purchasing.
Overall, General Motors has built a very stable SUV that is ideal for American-style camping. It offers 7 passengers, ample cargo space, and the ability to set up a solid metal hub cover. These are all things that car enthusiasts have been asking for. If you’re looking for an SUV that can transport a lot of people and their gear, then this might be the perfect fit. It’s best to avoid collisions as much as possible, but if it happens anyway, these panels protect the vehicle’s exterior and improve its aerodynamics. Another option for those who want to enjoy their trips but don’t want to overdo it is the rear spoiler. It offers better vision for the driver and passengers while also improving the car’s aerodynamics. It’s one feature that most luxury car manufacturers offer these days. Some cars even come with dark tinted windows and smoker packages as standard equipment because why not? They may not be for everyone’s taste, but at least these cars are made with safety in mind.
