Current one looks 10x better. This one looks way to smushed and tall.

You are stone cold **** nuts if you think this http://image.automotive.com/f/future_cars/2008/6698804/0609_z_2007_buick_lacrosse_cxs+front.jpg


look better then that..

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Neither looks drop dead sexy, but the new one just looks weird to me.

Not really a big fan of the new styling and having a roll up door on the console? Hello 1982.

Better drive trains sounds good and AWD is always a nice idea in a sedan and is going to be someone's daily driver.

[maroman88]

wats it with all the new cars and having head and tail lights that are HUUUUUUUUUGE...

looks ok tho

[NJ Torque]

If it only came with a V8...

roll up door onthe console?

Ohhh that, yeah well thats big everywhere. It hides the cup holders when not in use. Its becoming more and more common.

it looks like my ion. you need to get off gm's nuts man. even i dont love the ls1 as much as you love gm. holy christ. buick makes nothing thats relevant anymore. its all rehashes of pretty much anything you can get from the other divisions. Chevy, GMC and Saturn ftw. pontiac and buick ftl

I posted about the new 2010 LaX and Im no GM's nuts...how?
I figured I'd share.

If you can find a car like this from Saturn or Chevy, let me know. Hell, this is better in certain aspects then the CTS.

hahaha you bitch about "rehash" product, and then say gmc ftw. lol that's hypocrisy to the max.....the only vehicles they make that arent rehash are ****ing box trucks

[NastyEllEssWon]

gmc makes gm plenty of money with their work trucks. that enough leaves me to say they should stay.


saturn aura and the new 9-5 saab are on the same platform as the buick, not to mention the malibu will make the hop on over to the same platform as well. leaving the buick dragging ass behind once again.


all of gm's customers that grew up with buick being the pinnacle of luxary are dead or dying, mostly not driving anymore. cadillac sits where buick used to. Buick now sits where olds used to....and we see how that went

The Aura is on Epsilon 1, along with the G6 and Current Malibu.
LaCrosse is on Epsilon 2, along with the Opel Insigna
The 9-5 is supposed to eventually find its way onto EP2, if it makes it to market.
Right now, the LaX is the only EP2 car shown for America.

[NastyEllEssWon]

malibu and aura are making the jump to the epsilon 2 within one model year of the buick.


edit: 9-5 will be out alongside with the buick at the same time. awd will be available on that as well.

[BigAls87Z28]

Aura might or might not make it. Its been put on hold.
Malibu is up next for American EP2.
9-5 was supposed to be the first EP2 car, before Insigna, before LaX...
Now its going to be, at best, third, but most likely be placed 4th or released along side Malibu.
The Insigna could come here as a Buick Regal like it will in China. The Aura will not be a clone or take its design from Opel, as Buick and Opel are now aligned as Global Partners within GM.

[LS1Hawk]

Beautiful! So what's the MSRP going to be? Only thing I'm not crazy about are the headlamps...don't like how they wrap around and come to a point. And are those vents/portholes on the hood??? Hard to tell but that's a very nice touch.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Not bad

[bobb1589]

wow i like it... definitely doesnt look like an old timers car anymore

[12secondv6]

meh

[band77one]

kinda reminds me of an acura in a wierd way

[BurninrubberGT]

eh its ok

[BigAls87Z28]

Msrp hasn't been announced yet but I figure it might start out around 30k. And yes those are portholes on the hood.

[karr95]

I would agree with that or possibly a Lexus. With this car I am wondering if GM is trying to do the same thing that Hyndai (spelling) is trying to do with their Genesis sedan. Whatever the case, very nice car.

[bobb1589]

i would consider buying it as a low priced luxury car

[foff667]

I like the look in the pics, I'd like to see one in person for a final verdict though.

[NJSPEEDER]

Ummmm.....Buick currently sits on as much market share as Olds and Buick used to sit on combined. Buick is also GM's most profitable division in the Asian market, especially the far eastern parts of China and Japan.

As far as shared platforms, it is the way of the world and hardly a new thing. You may have noticed that GM built four models on the 'X' Platform domestically and several more world wide, Four domestic A-bodies and even more worldwide.........this isn't a new idea.

Stream lining platform engineering and designing in flexibility to satisfy more than one market segment is the best way to reach the most customers without wasting billions developing volumes of niche marques that can only survive a few years at a time in the modern market.

[NJSPEEDER]

yes those are portholes on the hood.

I think the portholes need to get off the hood and onto the fenders.

So what does Pontiac make that's similar to Buick? :confused:

[NJSPEEDER]

They both make cars and that is a horrible horrible idea :roll:

Dumb asses :lol:

BTW, does anyone else think the rear end screams Lexus ES330(or whatever the number is up to) and the new Mazda 6?

Yes, I thought Lexus right away when I saw the rear.

[LS1Hawk]

I also think - and this is very minor - it would be nice to see them add the colors (red, white and blue) back to the trishield emblem. I don't know why they stopped doing this...maybe because the cars the emblem represents don't exist anymore?
