Chinese LaCrosse getting a mid-life facelift

samkung · 01-09-2008, 07:41 AM

Well according to the news, its just a mid-life facelift, they are also going to upgrade the aging 4-speed to the new 6-speed auto, beside that the LaCrosse is also gonna be slimmer by about 10/25kg depending on the model

Old one is on the right, new one on the left

the front is so Mercedes it's not even funny, the rear is the old M45.

still looks better than our Lacrosse.

yup I have to agree... pretty pathetic. I can't wait until our LaCrosse goes away!

I disagree.

I get a Mercury Grand Marquis vibe from it. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I like the US one better.

I see the Ford 500, except with a chopped greenhouse …….

the top pick resembles the last lesabre in the greenhouse trunk area

I'm feeling the U.S. La Crosse on this one... It's like trying to choose between 2 ugly girls after being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

I usually don't pay this game but this time I do agree it is very Ford 500.

So you can stuff a 6-speed into a W-body. hmmm.

Chaz_23 · 01-09-2008, 10:58 AM

Isn't that the Hyundai Apokalypse?

Agree with those that say it looks like the new Taurus. Let's hope the American 2010 model won't look anything like this.

YES - More similar to the last years "Sable" AKA Montego.

not diggin it! hopefully the new 2009

model looks better!

Wish the W-Body could get a 6-speed state side~!

That said, I actually now prefer the NA Lacrosse. The new grille does a lot for the car.
