I have examined 20 new LaCrosse cars in the Greater Toronto area and all of them have one or more assembly defects. All of them have the instrument panel installed 1/8" - 3/16" too high on the left side and does not line up with the door trim. On some of them, the front fenders are not flush with the front doors just above the rocker panel. Does anyone know if there is a service bulletin to dealers on how to correct the instrument panel alignment? I am ready to buy but am getting tired of making excuses for sloppy GM workmanship. Incidentally, I am a long time GM customer with 21 of my 25 new cars being GM products.

Replying to: carnaught (Sep 20, 2009 9:00 am) I am still puzzled why you can't get AWD on the most upscale version. Some early posters mentioned that perhaps the AWD drive train couldn't handle the bigger engine. I don't know. Note though that according to the GM web site the more expensive version of the LaCrosse has a different rear suspension. Maybe that is it? IMHO, a loaded AWD LaCrosse would put a BMW 5 Series to shame and allow you to pocket maybe 20K difference.

When we were looking at possibly having to order one, we were told 6-8 weeks, so don't know if that's still the same right now..... I have had mine for a week today and have to say couldn't be more pleased! I think as people shop around, what you get in this car compared to some of the other luxury brands speaks for itself. And I like the $$ I paid!

Replying to: thors (Sep 22, 2009 4:16 am) I've always thought that special ordering a car to your exact specs was the way to go. Sure, the dealer hates it because he isn't going to make a quick, impusle sale that day. But so what? Did the dealer-principal make a hasty decision before he ordered a 30K piece of equipment for the dealership? Take Zenon. I'll bet that most dealers will order the cars without zenons because then they won't have to sell "up" the feature. I think that anyone who drives at night on two lane roads and/or with middle aged eyes would be nuts not to get zenons. Take colors. Dealers order cars with "safe' color schemes. The safest interior is black. But IMHO the sharpest interior is a beige or camel with a dark exterior like black. If you want this, you have to order it. Do it. Why settle for a black interior because a transient-salesman thinks it will get dirty faster. (It won't: leather cleans up easily). |
