This is a follow-up to my post in the Buick News forum.

Here is a pic of the promotional posters announcing stealthily that the Buick LaCrosse will make its debut at the Chicago auto show in February.

This one is clearly the tail light.

And here's the second poster, depiciting what I believe is the logon on the trunk. Put the two images together, and I think what we have is a palette swipe across the rear of the car, continuing into the tail lights, and with a Buick logo in the center.

These two posters were the only teasers I could find. If I find anything further in coming days, I will report.

Just some feedback...

GM: I don't know about those taillights on this one... :flush:

I dunno, still VERY eager to see the car!

Looks nice
The Buick is very nice, wonder where they placed the badging
THE TOP, CENTER, OR SOMEWHERE ELSE???

:lol:
I LIKE IT!!!!!

 

[gerardo_zg]

The tail light looks like a Camry

 

[babershah]

The interior should have rich wood influences and I'm hoping for a navagation system, since Rainier and Rendezvous have them OPTIONAL

 

[babershah]

WOW, I hope GM has some nice advertising techniques to help sell this car!!
Like with the Rainier commericals, I love them

Looks like an A6 to me.

 

[cyboexpo2002]

Is it just me or are the taillamps similar to the Hyundai Sonata? :flush:

 

[TaHoE]

The taillights actually remind me of the Malibu...

 

[mgescuro]

Here's a question....
Is the taillight looking from the rear (ie - passenger side rear) with the trunk lid?
Or is the taillight looking from the side profile of the car on the driver's side?
<_<

Can anyone tell me what this is?

That's a Photoshop of the LaCrosse based on a camoflaged car... Rumor has it that the styling assumed in the digital editing is all wrong...

 

[babershah]

I like the front, looks similar to the Lexus GS 300, the rest of the car needs to definetly look different, I hope it looks nice!!

Can't wait to see this car!!

Actually, I think the pic is photoshoped from a pic of the '04 Grand Prix. Though the LaCrosse will be based on the same platform as the Grand Prix, styling should be significantly different. For example, the rear door is expected to open before the rear quarter window-- like on the Impala.

There is a picture of what I assume is the real car on the web, however it appears to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The photo was of a GM PowerPoint slide, and it looked legit. The interior shot however, was almost a BMW knockoff, so it was drastically improved. If the car is the real thing, many of you will be upset, but it is a good start and will not alienate traditional Buick buyers.

Could you please post the link to that website???

 

[tkrelston]

If I had bookmarked the site or knew which site it was, I probably would have. However when I saw the site, I decided not to bookmark it, as GM has obviously worked hard to keep it under wraps, considering, the Grand Prix, Corvette, Solstice, and other top cars have been revealed way before they were meant to be. Sorry!

Does that mean this Buick is cooler and more European??
With clean exterior lines and has a nice color, interior is soft leather seats and clean center console?
