The CX starts at $27,835 with the 3.0-liter V-6. Not sure how much cheaper the 2.4L will be, but who is going to buy a 4cyl 3900lb car for $26-7000 made by GM. As nice as the car is anything over 26k needs to be a V6 only. This 4cyl model will end up being the rental special just like the 4cyl G6 and Malibu 4cyl are.

Replying to: gregg_vw (Jul 15, 2009 4:50 am) I know that when I try to pass in my 4cyl GM, it feels a bit angry, scowls, and sorta capped at a peak. When I passed in my 06 Accord 4cyl I had, it really never felt like it was exhausted and before you know it, I was pushing past 80mph without much sweat. My 4cyl GM, I don't have to worry about looking down and thinking, wow, I better slow down. After driving this car for a year now, I just noticed this. However, if that sorta engine in my GM car now, I would absolutely love it!! It would be complete! I miss that engine! A lot! GM can do that, even on a car like the Lacrosse, many other cars are doing it, but I am not sure their 4cyl now, could hold up to that kind of abuse. |

The Buick web site lists all four 2010 Lacrosse models as having the same MPG. I can't imagine that's actually true given two different engines and two different drivetrains across the platform. Has anyone seen model-specific MPG ratings?

" Approx 180 hp/180 torque was more than adequate for larger vehicles in the 1990s."...no, it wasn't...it was what they GAVE us in our choice of engines if there was any choice at all...using your analogy, the 100 HP, 455 CID engines in the early 70s was adequate simply because that's what they gave us...those engines were pigs on a good day... IMO, and I am not trying to be "speed racer", any midsize car should have 225-250 HP (with corresponding torque) for reasonable performance, and any larger car should have a minimum of 250-300...my Crown Vic has 239 HP, while not a pig, does hesitate when I need to accelerate...25-50 more HP and lbs/ft would be a welcome improvement... |
