First Drive: 2010 Buick LaCrosse I-4

2010 Buick LaCrosse I-4
Buick's latest LaCrosse is one of the new General Motors' best success stories. Sales of the nameplate have increased dramatically, and more than one-third of all buyers are new to the General Motors family. Better yet, transaction prices are up by a whopping $8500, despite the fact that sticker prices haven't significantly increased.

In the days of the old GM, we wouldn't expect much in the way of changes so soon - the LaCrosse debuted in June 2009 - but the born-again automaker seems to think there's always room for improvement. The first major addition, a four-cylinder engine, is already in production.

Buick LaCrosse 2010: Best Luxury Sedan

Luxury Car News: The newly designed 2010 Buick LaCrosse added yet another award to its ever-increasing list of commendations from the industry. The LaCrosse was named MotorWeek’s Drivers’ Choice Award winner for Best Luxury Sedan at the recent held Chicago Auto Show.

The 2010 LaCrosse received high marks for its all-wheel-drive capability, deluxe interior, economic V-6 engines, technological and safety features. A new direct-inject Ecotec 2.4L four-cylinder engine will be available with the LaCrosse CX model this spring.

The editorial staff of MotorWeek puts the test to more than 150 vehicles yearly to determine winners in the various categories. Performance, technology, practicality and value are key criteria used in compiling ratings.

2010 Buick LaCrosse: A proper switch

America's seniors are getting less and less attention from Detroit these days. They've had their bench seats, station wagons, and most of the large rear-wheel-drive sedans taken away, not to mention the storied brands of Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Plymouth. The "Greatest Generation" that led the American auto industry out of World War II and into its seemingly unstoppable dominance in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s has now been written off.

A Harman Kardon audio system makes music sound beautiful in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, and the navigation system helps keep it out of traffic. A soft suspension and quality interior combine for a solid sense of luxury.
