2007 Buick Enclave Urban CEO Edition
(from General
Motors Press Release) Platinum’s
rarity has long made it the metal of choice for nobility and the
affluent – more so than gold. Black, meanwhile, has traditionally
been associated with refinement … a confident elegance, demonstrated
by the black tuxedo, black dress or color-of-choice for luxury
vehicles. Black and platinum merge seamlessly in the Buick Enclave
Black Platinum Edition. Created by Mitek Corporation of Phoenix,
Ariz., Buick Enclave Black Platinum Edition is being introduced at
the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas.
This custom Enclave is a head-turner. Its House of Kolor Black
Diamond custom paint glimmers and appears to change hue depending on
the viewer’s angle: black, blue or purple. Your eyes run
effortlessly down the vehicle’s profile, which is accentuated by
darkened windows and doors without handles. Custom 20-inch TIS
chrome wheels equipped with 20-inch Toyo Proxes tires and custom
springs – which lower the vehicle height by two inches – combine to
create a pavement-hugging, ready-to-pounce appearance. Up front,
Buick Enclave Black Platinum Edition wears the new face of
production Enclaves, a vertical chrome waterfall grille.
One press of the Enclave Black Platinum Edition’s key fob opens the
doors, revealing an interior swathed in Deep Blue leather. The seat
inserts in all four captains chairs and the third-row bench – as
well as the headliner and the visors – feature this luxurious
leather. The exterior paint theme is duplicated in the interior trim
panels, and polished custom billet aluminum inserts have been added
to the door panels to complement the famous Buick fender trim. All
of the speakers feature polished custom billet aluminum trim rings
to further accentuate the chrome trim package. The result is a
harmonious balance between the vehicle’s interior and exterior.
While understated elegance embodies the interior and exterior
designs of the Buick Enclave Platinum Edition, its sound system is
not afraid to pump out wattage. Crank up the volume of the custom
MTX audio system to experience 4,900 watts of peak power delivered
through 13 speakers, including three 12-inch subwoofers that are
housed within custom-made and custom-painted fiberglass enclosures.
Enclave Black Platinum Edition also features three-way speakers in
the front doors, two-way speakers in the rear doors and two
amplifiers.
Naturally, a sound system this great can best be appreciated while
listening to favorite music, such as that stored on an iPod. Enclave
Black Platinum Edition has you covered there, too, thanks to the
Avstarr integration device from Civita Technologies. It allows
drivers and front passengers to control the iPod’s song list through
the vehicle’s audio controls, for safer and more convenient
listening pleasure.
