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.

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"...
 
Then the accord is a sports sedan. :sick

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

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.

And for any number of reasons I'd take a 300C over a LaCrosse Super any day of the week. Buick FTL.
 
Best Regards,

I'll ride the bus if I can only choose between the LaX and 300C...

I'll guess it's a non-functional link to an ironic image comparing disparate items a la a Lacrosse to a 3... Ooooh, I'm using big words today!
