– Denise McCluggage was godmother to all of us who write about cars. Reliable, caring, funny, kind, attentive, daring, adventurous, and a million other flattering adjectives aren’t enough to capture her character.

While we can’t infer that Buick Avenir™ will be stamped on a real Buick Avenir, it’s one fist pump on the long road to production. – There are a few problems: First, most Buick buyers—their median age hovers around 60–don’t do fist pumps, and second, automakers regularly trademark names they end
