This is a very good question. Per a meeting from a few weeks back, Intellilink is going to start being built in the 2012 Lacrosse on the 23rd of January. However, this date was subject to change as we continue to fine-tune the technological compatibility of the two. From that start date, Lacrosses with Intellilink would possibly start showing up at our dealerships within 6-8 weeks.
 
I hope this helps to clarify, and if I can be of further assistance please let me know!

Sarah,
 
Will Intellilink be a standard feature on the LaCrosse and can I place an order now with my local dealer?
 
Thanks,
 
Danny T.

Good morning Danny,
Yes, Intellilink is set to be a standard feature on the 2012 Lacrosse after the mid-year refresh. As far as placing an order with your dealership, I would be willing to call to find out for you. What dealership do you prefer?

Thanks for the reply, when you stated mid-year refresh do you mean the car wouldn't be available until June or July?

Car production for the 2012 model year started back in the last few months of 2011 (as early as August on some models). The mid-year refresh I mentioned was referring to the tentative January 23rd date I had mentioned earlier. I hadn't meant to be confusing, and I apologize!
 
I will get a call into the Sheehan Buick for you today and post an update for you by 4:30 EST.
 
Best,

I apologize for the last response! I called the dealership and the person I spoke with said that they believed orders could be placed for Lacrosses with Intellilink, but was going to make sure and call me back. The return call never occurred, which I was waiting for to post back to you. (Funny thing is I was driving home last night and thought to myself: Oh no! I didn't post back on Friday!)
So, again, I apologize for a late response.

What are the advantages of Intellilink over the previous system?
Any bets upon whether it performs fully or not?
I find it a shame that GM has taken the fix approach of MS. Sort of out the door and then patch after patch, and sometimes no patch for the problem.

One of the new innovations with the Intellilink system is its ability to use Bluetooth technology to stream audio from a smart phone; this means that internet radio stations on Pandora or Stitcher could be enjoyed while driving. I am not sure how much more I should elaborate as I do not want to violate the Edmunds policies on solicitation. If I can provide any more information for you, please contact me via email and I'd be happy to further discuss Intellilink.

Buick dealer locally having a big sale soon, and the wife really likes the new Lacrosse’s. If we find one that fits all our needs it will save special ordering it. But, what is the difference between the Intellilink we would find at the dealer’s and the one being put in the Lacrosse starting on the 23rd of this month.
 
Are the differences enough to warrant waiting for the new one?
 
P.S.—new to the forum, searched the posts but couldn’t find any addressing this issue, thus the new discussion.
