    I don't think I can take a Buick design seriously, but it looks impressive when you imagine it has a BMW badge instead. As much as I dislike the brand, they could've done a lot worse.

    Maybe we should all just shake hands, and buy each other a beer.

    What many keep forgetting is that YOU are not Buick's market. They want to sell cars to your DADDY.


    If you want your dad to fork over the keys to the Caddy, let hin take this [farm4.static.flickr.com] for a spin.

    This is a great design IMO. Was less awkward than its intended target, the Lexus ES. Might not spur an instant rush to the Buick dealer, but may be looked back on as an important turning point for the General....

    The ignorance in this post and the comments is amazing. The *reason* this car is "re-badged" is because LaCrosse is a slang term up here for 69'ing. They just give the LaCrosse a different name to avoid embarassement - Something this post and some of the comments can't say they've avoided.

    Is that a HUD, or a weird reflection?


    I'm happy if Buick is making good cars now, but having served 3 years as a 1982 Regal Limited 5.7 Litre Diesel owner, I've paid my debt to society, and I'm never going back to that place, you hear?

    @Ben Wojdyla:


    I disagree, there is nothing to changing the name. You can name it Bert&Ernie the result will still be the same.
    Buick needs to do some engineering of their own or they will be down the tube right along with Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

    Add:
    You can change it's name all you want, it is still a LaCrosse, and you can add all the high cost tech stuff you want, it is still a LaCrosse. All the high cost tech gadgetry does is make it less affordable at a time when the industry needs SALES.

Having driven the 2010 SRX which has the variable-orifice shocks and adaptive suspension system and the Saab Turbo X which has the same engine as the top line LaCrosse, I'm actually holding out hope this thing will be... gasp... fun to drive(!?).
