"General Motors’ Buick brand is in need of a freshening, which will come in the form of the next-generation LaCrossee. Although the next-gen LaCrosse has been put on hold for a few months, new details have surfaced on the near-luxury sedan, which should give us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the LaCrosse — whenever it finally takes the show stage. According to GM Inside News, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse will be offered with two powerplants – a base 3.0L V6 and an up-level 3.6L V6. The LaCrosse’s base motor is all-new for GM, but won’t be skimping on high-level features. The new powerplant will feature direct-injection, which will aid in both performance and fuel economy. Expect the 3.0L to produce 250 horsepower but still return about 30 mpg on the highway. The LaCrosse’s step-up motor will be a version of the Cadillac CTS’s 3.6L V6. It too will feature direct-injection, but will be slightly detuned from CTS-guise, putting out a still healthy 290 hp. Both powerplants will be mated to GM’s 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission. The LaCrosse is also set to feature a plethora of luxury content, such as HID headlamps, a rear-view camera and a heads-up display. All-wheel drive is also said to be part of the mix, but no word if the LaCrosse’s AWD option will be reserved for 3.6L cars. " Good stuff for Buick fans. I know I want one.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jan 08, 2009 4:22 pm) Is it a bit of a price shock to jump to a base price of $30K so quickly, and how does that align with pricing for the Lucerne?

The weight of the 2010 LaCrosse bothers me too. However, you don't mention even one positive about this car. I think the interior and exterior looks good, for example. The direct injection and 6-speed automatics are also leading edge.
