I've got to say I am enjoying this discussion!! As a recent purchaser (a week and a half now) I couldn't be happier! This coming from a household with one of us (me) being the foreign car buyer, the other American all the way.
 
We also have an Expedition (we have a boat and b/c of the weight and size, that is what we need) that I can use for most of the aforementioned room situations, so I didn't have those kinds of considerations when buying...however, that being said..........I have a son with a huge baseball/catchers bag which is at least, if not larger, and definitely wider, than a golf club bag, so using that as my judge, unless I'm driving more than 2 of us (the poster stated 2 golf club bags so I will assume 2 bags, 2 passengers) then I could easily put down part/all the back seat to transport those 2 golf bags if needed to. Take 2 golf bags with you next time you go and try it if you're serious about buying it! If that was a necessity, I would try it!
 
As for a week's vacation for a family of 4 or 5....that might be a tough one unless you can pack lighter, but a long weekend you could definitely do. Also, just in my own experience, I have found some nice rolling duffle bags and they hold a lot and don't take up nearly as much room as a traditional suitcase.....that may help if packing for a week's vacation. Also just another observation, if you have kids, there's a lot of room in the back and if they have those smaller kids suitcases (my daughter still does) or maybe even some of the carry-on ones, that could fit in the car in the backseat floor area...just food for thought there....
 
Happy Shopping!

Maybe Buick will come out with an accessory chrome luggage rack for the decklid like they did for the late-80s Park Avenue...

".....Please. All this talk about golf clubs and cross country trips with 5 grey haired people half of whom are on FlowMax is going to ruin the image (and demographic) that Buick is trying to appeal to."
 
Maybe so, but the 2 I've seen sell were to me (age 40) and a 23 yr old girl bought a silver CXL

Special Offer by ambuono

Sometime in early summer I signed up on Buick website for news about the '10 LaCrosse. A few weeks ago I received an email stating that a special offer would be coming soon. I registered as requested but have not received any more info on the offer. Anyone else get this email? Anyone actually get the special offer?
 
"And to thank you for your continued interest, a special offer on LaCrosse is coming soon—just for you. To take advantage of this offer, visit our registration page, give us a few pieces of information, and then check your mail in the coming weeks."
 
BTW, thanks to all for the comments and reviews posted here. The LaCrosse is on my short list as I look to buy a new car soon. The trunk space and golf club comments have been helpful too as that is one of my main concerns.

I must be an old geezer, because I cannot imagine how a 23 year old girl could afford a new CXL. Heck, I can't afford a new CXL.

Well, she received a victim settlement after being hit by a drunk driver. That explains the money. What is amazing is of all the cars she could buy ( my neighbor's daughter had a similar experience, and bought an Acura TL type S)
she chose a Lacrosse.

Regal by savetheland

For those who complains about weight and trunk - in the end of year there will be Buick Regal which is shorter version of LaCross, because it is wheelbase is shorter. But the trunk is larger and it weights less and costs also less. It is essentially rebadged Opel Insignia, which is know as Buick regal in China.

I received the same email message and signed up as well. I am interested in ordering a loaded CXS and I am wondering what the offer is. Is it a cash incentive or a free option package? Does anyone have any idea?

Ok, you are at the gas station,and you have to go to the passenger side to load up on fuel. I know wrong side,again. You have the key'"transponder",in your pocket which allows the ignition to be armed. Anyone can jump in drive the car away
 
I don't know about the Lacrosse, but with my Acura, once I get as far as the trunk, the ignition is no longer armed. So, if I were as far as the passenger side, no one could just get in the car and drive away. However, with my Acura where the fuel opening is on the driver's side, it might be possible for someone to jump in the car and drive away.
 
,but the engine will shut off when a certain distance is reached from the key. Don't know how far this is.
 
I don't know about the Lacrosse, but with my Acura, the engine does not shut off when a certain distance is reached from the transponder. There is simply a warning alarm. Of course, once the engine is shut off, it could not be restarted without the transponder present.
