Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD

I'll reserve judgement until the final car is out. I've been wrong more than once when calling out the car by the spyshots.

It's pretty obvious it will be much like the Aura. I think everybody was expecting different proportions overall with a unique greenhouse. It's obvious this car is nothing more than a reskin. GM made it sound like Buick would take on it's own Identity, just like Cadillac. Clearly it's more of the same. Lexus, Acura, and Infinity usually strecth the wheelbase about 4 inches and do some window changes in order to convince the public their luxury brands are not the same as the generic base car. This is a perfect example of GM's perpetual ignorance that will result in their eventual demise.

Looking very nice as how I picture a modern Buick. The beauty will shine both inside and outside.

Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD



More than a passing similarity me thinks. But I'll hope for better.... that's probably a Lacrosse mule or something.

Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD

Some of you people crack me up.

You can see an Enclave-style front clip, and... NOTHING ELSE!

Lotsa glass-half-empty types posting comments here. Wait until you see the real thing.

Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD

Assuming this and the Invecta is the Lacrosse replacement and it is based on updated Epsilon, it would be similar in size to Malibu and other similarly framed cars? How does this compare in size to the current W-body LaCrosse (which is almost full-size)? It almost seems it'd be smaller or at best equal, and well within the mid-size category. Other cars seem to be creeping up in size or in the case of Accord leaping up in size. Would a new Epsilon-based Lacrosse replacement be smaller than an Accord? I've been thinking a new LaCrosse and the next-gen Impala should be inching up near the full size.

Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD

How often is Buick going to replace lousy cars with lousy cars with new forgettable names?

When is GM going to get back into making real Buicks like the Regal, LeSabre, Park Avenue and Riviera?

I'll hold my thoughts until a better picture of the WHOLE car comes out

Re: 2010 Buick LaCrosse UNCOVERD

The front looks ok but the sides are yet more boring genric Lexus/Toyota slab sided clones. This looks like a dissapointment compared to GM's other better efforts like the Malibu/Enclave etc. Why can't we have Buicks that look like Buicks and not more dreary Asian cookie cutter clones.
