There are cars that are just basic and then there are cars like the new 2010 Buick LaCrosse. Since the LaCrosse was introduced to the Buick lineup replacing the long-running Buick LeSabre. It, it has generated a fresh appeal and overall new image that has reached out to consumers. Warm feelings arise when they step into the cockpit and know that the vehicle they are driving fosters appeal and luxury. It features state of the art technology combined with innovative design that sets a new standard.
I was pleased with the amount of features that the LaCrosse had to offer. Even on the lower end LaCrosse, you will notice amenities that you would not expect. The design of the vehicle itself from the interior to the exterior puts on a façade that is bound to break the status quo. In general, this is a ground breaking achievement for the ageing company to reach beyond the norms and design a car that will appeal to a new generation of consumers who appreciate this kind of luxury.
The test car for this review was the Buick LaCrosse CXL, which was well equipped with luxuries such as leather wrapped steering wheel, volume controls on the steering wheel, stitched dashboard, heated leather seats, and wood trim. As far as performance, the test car came with 255 horsepower. The 3.0 liter VVT engine is remarkably quiet even at higher engine speeds. With the adaptive shift control, more fun is introduced into the equation by allowing the consumer to shift gears like a manual transmission.
