Actually, the Super makes sense if you think about it. If anyone can put a V8 in front-wheel drive car and pull it off....it's GM. The late Cadillac Eldorado, Seville, and Oldsmobile Aurora cars were pretty good handling cars and got better through the years. Sure, they weren't BMW's, Mercedes-Benz's, etc. but they were not designed to be. Neither is the Buick LaCrosse Super. What they were designed to be were powerful, efficient, smooth driving quiet cars that were of a quality not found elsewhere in the GM product portfolio. While quality at GM has certainly improved, and thus, blurring the lines a bit, a V8 is what Buick needs to get some attention from the public. Will it set sales records at Buick? No. But what it will do is get customers to look at Buick when they normally would not. Personally, I kind of like the idea of having a vault-like quiet ride in a well assembled car with 300HP on tap to remind the import humper in his Lexus that Buick is still Boss. (especially in China....don't see too many Lexus cars there.) |

The new Eps II LaCrosse has been shown to all the GM execs. It is beautiful and styled along the vein of the Enclave. LLN has some spy photos and their own illustrations on wha thtey think it looks like. http://www.leftlanenews.com/buick-lacrosse-invicta.html http://www.leftlanenews.com/wp-content/plugins/iimage-gallery.php?idpost=6978&id- g=2&idi=1">

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Apr 11, 2008 3:35 am) The salesperson also told me that the head of the dealership said that I should wait for the new and improved LaCrosse that will be out in October, 2008. Everything I have read says the new LaCrosse will be out in Spring, 2009. Can anyone shed any light on this?? We want to buy a new car but we could probably wait six months. Waiting until Spring, 2009 is not an option. Thanks in advance for any input.

Replying to: horns1976 (Apr 24, 2008 11:39 am) That said. Check out the Invicta concept which will be very close to the production LaCrosse next Spring. If you ride is not falling apart. It may be best to wait another year. http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f63/beijing-buick-invicta-concept-revealed-63- 433/ |
