Buick LaCrosse
Built with harmony in mind

My brother often brags about his company car, a Buick LaCrosse. Now I have driven one. Redesigned from the ground up, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse luxury sedan offers all-wheel drive, quiet, elegance and harmony.
The 2010 LaCrosse is offered in three models – CX, CXL and CXS, which we test drove. It is equipped with a 3.6-liter direct injection V-6; real-time active-dampening suspension; perforated, leather-appointed, heated and ventilated seats and chrome-plated 18-inch alloy wheels. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, generating 280 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. Estimated mileage is 17/27 miles per gallon city/highway.
The new LaCrosse is intended to represent modern elegance. Both the interior and exterior have been designed with harmony in mind. The exterior balances taut, sculpted lines with sensuous accents and surfaces. Inside, smoked chrome accents, warm wood, first-class leather and materials combine with ice blue ambient lighting to create an inviting environment.
Inside, the interior is defined by a flowing, uninterrupted design theme that wraps around the instrument and door panels. Attention to detail is evident throughout the interior, including the analog instrument cluster, chrome offset by dark wood grain accents and contrasting stitching on the instrument panel. Buick’s signature Quiet Tuning – an engineering process to reduce, block and absorb interior noise – provides a distraction-free passenger environment.
