Replying to: cooterbfd (Jan 08, 2009 5:22 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.

"All cars are too heavy nowadays." That's true, but 4,000-4,200 lbs. may set a new record for a mid-price car. That begs the question, what will the next Lucerne and large body cadillac weigh? My first reaction is that the weight figures are disappointing for a car that seems to otherwise be very competitive. However, let's see if the inside dimensions, trunk space and other attributes justify or mitigate the porky aspects before we pass final judgment on this new LaCrosse.

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jan 09, 2009 9:30 am) So if the new LaCrosse is built on this same platform, it's just taking that solid feeling to new highs? As for interior room, one area of criticism I've seen pointed out with the Aura and Malibu is the tight shoulder room, especially in the back seat. I think it's only something like 53.7", which is probably about the same as a 1980's Grand Am or Calais. Way too tight for 3-across seating, although IMO truly comfy 3-across seating went out in the 1970's with downsizing. So if this new LaCrosse is targeted as an upscale car, rather than a mainstream family car, the tight shoulder room might not be too much of a concern. |
