These new shots, from thecarconnection.com, continue to whet my appetite for the NG Buick LaCrosse (or will it be called Invicta?).

Enjoy!

That gauge cluster is just stunning.
I want one. Now.

Looks hot! I can't wait for this thing to come out!!!

That nav screen is awful small though.....

Corporate 4 spoke wheel. Stitched Dash. Blue lights. Hot. The interior looks like a winner so far. Can't see the shifter. Everything else from the renderings seems spot on.

very interesting!! cant wait to see it!! Hopefully its RWD and an AWD option!

Global Epsilon II FWD. Hopefully, Lucerne replacement will be Zeta RWD sedan.

Best looking Buick in a long time, including the Enclave.

I hope it's just me but the arm rest on the door looks really small.

 

[1957wildcat]

Kennyboy: I agree! Even though there's still lots of camouflage, I like what I can see, including the white exterior color, the rims, the exhaust tips, the dash, etc.

 

[Subtle_Cynicism]

Looks pretty sharp. The plastics on the interior (at least on the sides) look Chrysler-like to me, but you know that pre-production vehicles aren't always maxed out on the true fit and finish.

It looks dang good.

 

[I-Love-Pontiac]

Looks nice. Don't think it will be nice enough to pull people out of their ESs though. That interior looks very pretty. But not very posh.

 

[Ambalanche]

Can't see the center stack, but looks good so far!

Ah. So this would appear to be the Lacrosse's interior. Seems quite obvious from the interior spy shot.

A quick scoot over to here would show these "concept" illustrations are actually what we can see in that Lacrosse, right down to the blue lighting.

Loving everything except the worlds 2nd smallest door armrest. That honor goes to my Grandpa's '88 Ford Escort.

 

[Quickening]

Interesting, elbow pad on the door panel?

Integrated, or at least very close to being integrated exhaust.

Looks pretty sveet.

Except for the steering wheel, but that G8 wheel could be a "placeholder" for the wheel from the drawing.

I looks pretty good from what I can see. I wonder what the engine line up will be?

Could they be considering the 2.4/6 speed combo as the base engine and tranny to boost the MPG figures?

I expect that the car will debut with at least the 3.6 DOHC V6 265-270hp for the regular V6 versions and the 290-300hp DI 3.6 DOHC for the Super(I hate that name, call it GS) if they decide to do a "cooking" version of the Regal/LaCrosse/Allure/Invicta.


There also are the rummors of the smaller HF V6 with 2.5-2.8 litres as the base motor.

 

[FenwickHockey65]

Hmm...armrest does seem small...but if the interior is anything like the one shown above (and it looks like it), then who cares about the armrest?

 

[diurnal618]

:dro:
but what is going on with those seats? they look odd. but I really like what I see. it's very nice to see that Buick will have two amazing products again. but isn't the Lucurene suppose to be getting an MCE for MY09?

not only that but from these shots it looks a lot like the illustrations posted a while ago. We pretty much know what it's going to look like now, that interior (or close to it) in the concept illustrations.

Hey, 2 panel sunroof like the CTS, pretty nice. I am guessing that this a "loaded" up CXS mule.


The angle makes the armrest look small, lets not begin the freak out.
