It should have promise in the market. It doesn't look like it belongs in Sun City, that is a great start

Nice car. Buick just needs to get rid of that 'Old man car" image.

And consistently producing cars like this will do just that. No more half assed attempts will cut the mustard.

Buick's in China are very very nice. Combines luxury, quality, and curb appeal you can't go wrong. It's like Ford's Mondeo, it's a shame Ford doesn't have it offered in North America. WHY? is beyond me.

0-60 in 2 minutes. This means my Matrix may actually be faster than somebody elses car! WooHoo!

Even if it is DI, it seems they are just throwing this in there to add another car with higher MPG to the lineup to help balance the average fuel economy standard for the brand.

Once I see a full size Silverado or F-150 Hybrid, I will know the crazy people have finally won with their global warming, err I mean climate change, oh wait make that global cooling, or was it the Gore Effect? Whatever you want to call the myths.

This is great news for GM. Yet another mileage leading vehicle to add to their industry leading mileage lead. OK, just read it again slowly! LOL. GM already is industry leading in mileage in more segments than any other manufacturer.

Look for a high mileage compact family sedan to enter the Buick stable as early as next year.

It's not a bad looking car at all......they just need to overcome the old man image that is associated with Buick. I'm not sure what would help that other than some sporty mean cars, a la Grand National. My guess is that isn't happening though. I figured they would have eliminated Buick before Pontiac.

An interesting fact about the Buick LaCrosse : In Canada, they had to rename it "Allure" because in french canadian "Crosse" is a slang for "rip off" and "... handjob".
"La" being the equivalent of "The", the textual translation for LaCrosse was either "The rip-off" or "The handjob".

Tought it was a funny fact to share with you.
