2010 Buick LaCrosse Introduction

[JohnD1956]

What a tease! The sites not up till July 29th. Meanwhile the last Time Magazine had a picture of 4 Buicks, the new LaCrosse, the Lucerne, the Enclave and the Regal concept car. The Regal was hidden but it sure looked nice. While I'm not happy to see Pontiac disected, I am at least hopeful that measn Buick will make this concept car in a two door version for the market.

Well, I've seen 2 of them in person, this is The New GM way of doing things on the web, check out GM FastLane
for more fun and excitement!

Wow, those Pontiac people are sure passionate. Shame some of them still think Buicks are for the older people only. But the real shame is GM still has the same top management attitude screwing up the entire company!

I went to the Buick open today.They had the best display of Buicks yet. I crawled all over the new LaCrosse and might think about getting one some day. Tiger did not have a good first day but it is early in the week. The weather was perfect but this might be the last open for Buick. Norb

buick is still thinking social security buyers/drivers.

I read some of the hype that this car was getting, and was interested to see it. I even defended Buick moving up in price as I thought this was something they should have done decades ago.

I just saw the car at a BOPC show held at a Buick dealership. I have to say the 2010 LaCrosses they had there were a big disappointment. The hood looks like it belongs on an SUV. The trunk is so non-existent looking it might as well be a hatchback. There isn't anything about it that really looks Buick except for the grill which has been exaggerated to cartoon proportions. The old LaCrosse sitting next to it looked more Buick-like, and I thought those were grandpa-ish. The interior is nicer than the old LaCrosse, but I hate those stupid pods for the speedometer that stick up and look like they were made from styrafoam and glued on. If this is the car Buick is hanging their hopes on, I really don't see people stampeding to Buick dealerships for it. Why can't they build something with some character?
