Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 17, 2008 8:28 pm) If you don't believe me that the LaCrosse doesn't measure up, that's fine, consult the car comparison web site of your choice and look at the cars the "experts" think the Buick competes with. My bet is that you'll see a list that looks something like the following: - Chevy Impala - Chrysler 300 - Dodge Charger - Ford Tarus - Honda Accord - Hyundai Sonata - Kia Optima - Mazda Mazda6 - Mercury Sable - Mitsubishi Galant - Nissan Altima - Saturn Aura - Subaru Legacy - Toyota Camry Not exactly a thrilling list of car that one would want to go "sporting" with now is it. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: shipo (Mar 17, 2008 8:52 pm) BTW, where are the Caddy CTS, Impala SS, and Pontiac G8 GT on your list? Link: http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/buick/lacrosse/100900863/compare.html A word to the wise, next time check your facts before running your mouth.

Cadillac spent the ninties trying to make the STS into a serious sports sedan contenter. They failed. Cadillac's solution was the RWD sigma platform CTS, STS models which are a much better set of cars. The Lacrosse, like the Impala and Grand Prix, have a bit too much engine for the platform, and while faster in a straight line, still are not well balanced for twisty mountain highways. They are probably better in snow though. |

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 18, 2008 6:30 am) I remember being blasted on this forum for prioritizing track times over handling and driving dynamics. Had I gone this low, I dont think so

Replying to: jeffmo2334 (Mar 17, 2008 5:55 pm)  I drove a brand new one way back in the day, and it was as quiet as a tomb. I had a '94 Corolla (loved that car!) and you'd never guess that it and the Prizm were "twins." The Corolla exhibited mucho road noise, and the Prizm of the same era was smooth and quiet.
