2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS Test Drive. Lexus Placed On Notice!

Nice.
Does it have the interior ambient lighting that I saw in the press pictures, or is that optional?
One thing is for sure - the Buick touch doesn't take away the bulldog look of the Nav area, but it sure is a big upgrade from the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia.
Who am I kidding... It's beautiful!

I've been liking too many non-Lexus cars recently. :O

Love the tach with COLORED Audi inspired info area.
Looks like the center stack is far away from the driver
The seats already look a little worn already
the rear is very LEXUS like to me
Over all good job Buick / GM/ New GM/ Whatever you are called now

Caught a glimps of this at the NY auto show and the car was amazing! First thing that came out of my mouth was they are gunning for the ES350. To be honest, this makes the ES350 look cheap and old when compaired side to side.

Exterior nice, interior too cheap and cheesy to put Lexus on notice. Plus, unfortunately, domestics depreciate like a stone, while Lexus holds it's value like glue.

Brash new styling? Glad to see that GM finally made it into the new millennium (albeit almost 10 years late).

How many times has LEXUS been "placed on notice?" Lincoln, Buick, Cadillac, Hyundai... all have supposedly put LEXUS on notice in recent memory. LEXUS looks like they'll be fine.

...and yes, that rear is the spitting-image of an LS.

Nevertheless, the fruits of copying LEXUS are always much more sweeter than previous harvests.

We noticed, now we can move on and buy the Lexus.

Seriously, this won't impact Lexus' sales in the least bit... maybe in China...

Lexus true made its name on faking designs of most manufactures, and if they don't turn things around, it will very well seen most past them up in marketshare. Liars don't figure and figures don't lie. Look at Lexus sales this year compared to other premium brands.
