Well, reports have it that a model will be built alongside the Cruze here in the US, for sale in China!!! So, it's not a stretch that if they see a need here to just start shipping them.

Heh, by the time editorial sends around their list of what's new on site, it's already been live for a week or more. And they don't give us hosts advance notice, so I'm usually clueless about such things.
 
Karl is hanging out in Colorado right now, but reply to a blog post or tweet and put in your request.
 
Inside Line had a recent blurb about the four-cylinder version in the pipeline. And they have 2010 pics up.

I just found it odd that while these others have posted their first drives, edmunds has yet too.

Must be a conspiracy and Buick isn't providing us one to test. Be sure to ask Karl that too. That'll make his vacation.

Another compliment...... by cooterbfd

This time from nextautos.com;
 
".....We came away from this rather surprised. Frankly, we often look at GM’s top efforts and think "almost." Usually, the exterior looks great, but the interior is a letdown. Or the engine is great, but the transmission is clunky. Or the drivetrain is good, but the handling is insipid. The LaCrosse isn’t like that. There is essentially nothing significantly wrong with this car, if it is viewed through the eyes of the target customer. In other words, the LaCrosse is fully competitive with the Lexus ES350 and Acura TL. No excuses, no "almost." Whether the LaCrosse is better than an ES or a TL is a matter for another article, but the significant point is that anyone shopping for an ES or a TL could legitimately cross-shop the LaCrosse."

I'm not sure an Opel based chassis and GM drivetrain can compete head on with Lexus. However, if close and significantly less expensive they might pull it off. I think the new LaCrosse looks good despite the dumb name and hope they can pull it off. However, GM head in the sand management will probably either short cut the product or over price the car, but let's hope for the best.
