I like it! I like it!

I love big cars.

That one sure looks nice, conservative, almost looks like the Lesabre.

Thing is, this car isnt that big. Isnt this a W-body? I think it is. Im pretty impressed with it really. Not for my liking, but for Buikcs market... it will please the older croud while still looking pretty modern. Good job Buick!

looks nothing like the LaCrosse concept, but i guess Buick really loved that name... doesn't look bad though... i guess GM really is trying to give a new impression of their brands with the dropping of alot of long time popular names (Cavalier, Grand Am, Regal, Century, Seville)

In Canada:

It will be called a Buick Allure.

No Buick LaCrosse in name in Canada (because of a Quebec slang term)

I think it looks more like a Jaguar or a Lexus GS. Everyone to their own tastes, I guess.

That pic with the direct front end shot is a complete rip from the Lexus GS. It looks exactly like the Lexus GS front end. And this is what Lutz wanted???

OK.. I take it back.

An Intrepid humped a Lexus (instead of a Sonota) and out came this Buick.

I think it's time GM got a little more agressive with this product line. I understand I'm not in the age bracket of potential buyers, but I like it.

My mom got an 03 Park Avenue and it looks like this car hasn't changed in 11 years! I hate it. Go Buick go!

I'd be more good with it if it hadn't of been for the fact that the killed the Regal.

So.... anyone know what's under the hood?
