Poll: Vote for name for next gen Lacrosse

[AndrewGS]

Invicta is a full-size nameplate, but since the big car should be called Electra I vote for Invicta. Invicta is better than Skylark and Regal, IMO.

I think Buick needs to rename it's trim levels as well, starting with the Special as a base car, Super as midlevel and Limited as the top of the line.

When they come out with a compact maybe they could call it the Apollo.

Invicta was Buick's middle of the road or small car when it came out. It was a full-size car, but still smaller than the Electra.

To those not familiar with full size Buick names...

The 1936-58 Special and 1959 and newer LeSabre were the basic models built on the "B" body with a smaller engine and cheaper trim.

The 1936-58 Century, 1959-63 Invicta, 1962-70 Wildcat and 1971-73 Centurion were the most powerful and more luxurious and they were also build on the "B" body.

The Super (series 50), and Electra were made on the bigger C body but had cheaper trim.

The Roadmaster, Limited and Electra 225 were the most luxurious models.

The 1963 and newer Riviera was a personal coupe, before 1963, the name Riviera was used to identifiate some body styles rather than models, mostly pillarless hardtops.
