GM's large international operation and the popularity of Buick in China leads to some strange intercontinental platform sharing. We untangle part of the mess below. More »

Whether it deserves the title or not, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, with its brash new styling, fresh hardware and European bona fides, is the first "new Buick" of the "new GM." Shame about that whole old-folks image thing. More »

Buick's new "Take A Look At Me Now" ad campaign features a caricature of a creepy director seemingly ready to sleep with a new 2010 Buick LaCrosse and 2009 Enclave. It is, in a word, "awkward." More »

Rather than announce a 2010 Buick LaCrosse Super, GM's announced they intend to sell a miserly version of Buick's new hotness with a 182 HP version of their Ecotec four-cylinder. Malaise II-era anyone? More »

GM Canada wants you to know they're still alive and breathing and in order to create hype they've re-badged the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. It's the all-new (kinda) 2010 Buick Allure, now with more gravy, eh. More »

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse is the first entry from the tri-shield brand since the super sleeper Regal GSE that's got our attention. Even better, the price for the new hotness is just $27,835. More »

The brand-image smashing 2010 Buick LaCrosse has debuted out on the floor of the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, cut crystal platters of rock candy, and old Werther's Original were nowhere to be found. More »

Customers interested in buying something new from the Buick brand have been left high and dry since the release of the Enclave CUV in early 2007. They won't have to wait much longer. While we've seen it fairly un-covered and we've already seen a little tease, our sources tell us these renderings we've commissioned from the folks at KORSDesign are almost exactly what you should expect to see when GM reveals the 2010 Buick LaCrosse officially in November at the LA Auto Show. Check out the gallery of renderings below and then hit the jump to see our official spy report. More »

The battle of big American quasi-luxury sedans is heating up as the 2010 Buick LaCrosse nears production. Although this is our best set of spy photos yet, it's still rather silly as the Buick Invicta concept essentially previewed what's hiding under the camo here. As you can see, Buick is taking dead aim at the Lincoln MKS for the coveted role of "car for sexy grandfathers" title. Spy report after the jump. More »

GM just released this teaser photo of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, which is set to debut at the LA Auto Show in November. The Epsilon II-platformed, front-wheel-drive, mid-size sedan receives style influence from the Buick Invicta concept and hopes to be just as sexy as the 2008 Buick Enclave crossover. More »

These grainy photos are the first uncamouflaged look we've gotten at the new 2010 Buick LaCrosse. The LaCrosse appears to be getting a very modern update, leaving virtually everything from the last model behind. Large, single-unit headlights are complimented by a very recognizable Buick grille. The LaCrosse interior is drastically remodeled and definitely looks to be benefiting from GM's renewed focus on interior design, with a large LCD screen, stylishly sculpted center stack, and a new breed of steering wheel-mounted controls we haven't seen before. Car and Driver has a set of in-plant images with enough detail to give you the initial impression. [CarAndDriver] More »

We know, Buick goes with old people like liniment, Depends and Ensure? Well, if that's the case, maybe now we'll actually have something to look forward to in our retirement years — if we plan on retiring in the People's Republic. GM decided to debut their latest concept, the Buick Invicta, at the Beijing Motor Show this weekend. The Invicta takes the far-fetched Buick Riviera Concept a step closer to reality. But don't think this car is going to be another forbidden city denied from us 'mericans. Word is this concept is a strong hint at what the upcoming 2010 Buick LaCrosse will look like. And depending on how true the concept's specs are to the prospective production model, that could actually be something to look forward to. More »

The General's German brand saw the sign it needed to replace the aged Vectra, so they opened up their eyes — and came up with this — the new 2009 Opel Insignia. It's a new name, a new car and yes, a new badge for the brand preciously misspelled from the name of a gem and it's being revealed in July at the London Motor Show. We're guessing Opel decided to drop this load of shots and details early due to, you know, all the leakage everywhere — both manufactured, silly and otherwise. This new Vectra-replacing four-door will hit the market with a pickup truck-like selection of engine options and powertrains. Buyers of the new Insignia will be able to choose from seven different engines — four gasoline engines ranging from a four-banger 115 HP unit to a V6 with an output of 260 horses and three new direct-injection diesels displacing 2.0 liters and with outputs spanning from 110 to 160 HP. And when you're done choosing your boring engines, you'll have a choice between either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. What else would we expect from a four-door that's 7.9 inches longer than the current Vectra and is built on the General's new globe-spanning Epsilon II platform. Of course we'd expect a variety of available options — this sculpted boat's going to need to play the role of like, every car in GM's multi-brand lineup. And that's why we should care about this new Euro sedan — because everything else with an Opel badge gets sent state-wide as a Saturn, so we're under the impression we'll be seeing this as the 2011 Saturn Aura. But the platform prostitution doesn't end there — the bones underneath will hold the skin and meat of the 2011 Pontiac G6 and the 2012 Chevy Malibu. Rumor is we'll also see it as the 2010 Buick LaCrosse and the 2010 Saab 9-3. Yes, that means the 2010 LaCrosse would actually get an AWD platform — hmm, maybe there's some life in that old brand. Yeah, right. Full press release after the jump.

This is the best look we've gotten yet of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse's interior. It's hard to see too many details from this distance, but from what you can make out, it looks pretty nice in there. The new Buick will be the first car in America to ride on GM's Epsilon II platform, so we're actually kinda excited for it to debut. Could this be to Buick what the new XF is to Jaguar? More »

Even a quick glance at these shots of what Brenda Priddy's kept spy-man Chris Doane claims is the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, already tell us it's shaping up to look better than the current model. And by better we mean this Epsilon II-platformed Front-Wheel Drive mid-size looks more squashed and turtle-like than before. But maybe it'll work this time when combined with the cladding on the sides that seem to indicate the new LaCrosse will receive the same swoopy character line along the doors that's so helpful in providing the Enclave, its Lambda-platformed SUV brand-brother, such a distinctive look. In addition it appears the front grille's getting more of an upturned mouth with the corners growing more taught at the tips. That'll be perfect to complement what looks like much larger gills it can use to breathe through. Full spy report from Chris Doane / Brenda Priddy below the jump. More »
