Replying to: jezmia (Mar 19, 2008 7:42 pm) If you look in the 3-Series group and the G35 group, you'll find Real World MPG discussions for each vehicle. Hope this helps! Replies to this message: jezmia (Mar 20, 2008 6:48 am)

Replying to: fedlawman (Mar 19, 2008 7:39 pm) These will be my final replies regarding the LaX Super (I promise):   To "louiswei": [quote]Please tell me you are joking. Let me ask you a question: have you ever driven a 3-series before?[unquote] [Answer]Yes! I've driven my daughter's 2004 BMW 330i convertible a few times. I didn't like its bucket seats (they were very hard to get in and out of) and it lacked pickup. Nice radio though.   To "jimbres": [quote]In short, it's a fast car & it's a luxurious car. But it's not a luxury performance car[unquote]. [Answer]Buick is calling the LaCrosse Super a luxury performance sedan, not me. I have no reason to doubt them.   To "sjaiave": Yes, I actually bought the Buick.   To "shipo": I don't keep telling myself it's a sport sedan. However, as I told "jimbres", Buick is calling the LaX Super a luxury performance sedan.   To "fedlawman": Thanks for your objective thoughts about the car. However, the title of this discussion is "Entry Level Luxury Performance Sedans", not sport sedans. So, in my opinion, the LaCrosse Super does belong in this discussion.

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 20, 2008 7:43 am) I didn't like its bucket seats   Without it then it's not a "sports sedan" you know...   it lacked pickup   Maybe, then you should take a trip down to your local BMW dealer and try the new 335i. I would like to see you repeat that same statement with a straight face afterward.   Nice radio though   BMW was never, and still isn't, known for nice radios...   Why am I not surprised to see Buick calling the LaX Super a "performance sedan" since Saturn has already called the Aura a "sports sedan"...

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 20, 2008 7:43 am) have you ever driven a 3-series before?[unquote] [Answer]Yes! I've driven my daughter's 2004 BMW 330i   When the car came in 2004 was it lacking? I don't think so.   So, in my opinion, the LaCrosse Super does belong in this discussion.   It's a nose heavy, FWD car with a big engine. It is a highway cruiser not up to the same performance standards as other cars in this group. Performance is about turning the wheel also. It is not entry level luxury according to edmunds. It does not belong in this discussion. Buick can call it what ever it wants.

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 20, 2008 7:43 am) To "sjaiave": Yes, I actually bought the Buick.   All the best with the Buick. Just dont try racing/outperforming the real sports sedans   335i IS350 Infiniti G35   In that order
#10859 of 11073 Performance Sedan vs. Sport Sedan by sls002 Mar 20, 2008 (1:35 pm)
The Buick Lacrosse V8 may be a performance sedan, as is the Chrysler 300C. However a performance sedan and a sports sedan are not quite the same thing. The 300C is a bit too big for a serious sports sedan, as is the BMW 7-series.

Replying to: sls002 (Mar 20, 2008 1:35 pm) And for any number of reasons I'd take a 300C over a LaCrosse Super any day of the week. Buick FTL.   Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: louiswei (Mar 20, 2008 2:13 pm) nyccarguy (Mar 20, 2008 3:40 pm) louiswei (Mar 21, 2008 7:47 am) and 6 more... sls002 (Mar 21, 2008 7:39 am) shipo (Mar 21, 2008 8:20 am) circlew (Mar 21, 2008 8:32 am) tayl0rd (Mar 21, 2008 8:46 am)
