2010 Buick Lacrosse VS. Preconceptions

Buick has been a mainstay of the American Auto Industry for GM for many decades. It has always been known as a good American vehicle for the masses. Its stylings were never over the top, its power always reliable, and its safety features compliant. It has been the go to car for people who were looking for a good safe reliable American made car. This has unfortunately led to its low sales over the past few years because people’s minds are thinking past the old-reliable stand by Maxisys MS908CV. Buick’s have been known to be synonymous with grandparents, and hard candy. Over the past 2 years however, after the great GM closures and bailouts, Buick has begun to think outside their comfortably boring box and stepped into the high performance and great stylings category. Buicks are no longer just for the ‘folks’. The 2010 Lacrosse Luxury sedan is flipping buyer’s preconceptions on their ears. Offering all wheel drive, advanced technologies and safety features and stylings which are reminiscent of retro blended with modern. There is a renaissance happening and the Buick Lacrosse is at the top of the pile attracting new buyers to their dealerships.

The Buick Lacrosse, or Allure in Canada, was unveiled last season with great sighs of relief from the American Auto Industry. It brought the stylings and performance of European competition, into an American car. It is very competitive in the ‘premium mid-luxury’ division. Said to be comparable to the Lexus ES and GS, and the Volvo S60 and S80, the Buick Lacrosse will knock your socks off with out the extra cost.

The Lacrosse is the second generation auto from the GM Buick division. The name was originally inspired from a 2008 Buick concept car. Its name, sporty in nature, was developed to reference the sportiness of the new model to a younger more active consumer. Since then, the second generation Lacrosse has been tweaked and updated by worldwide engineering and design firms. Still American but with an international twist, the Lacrosse is available with a 2.4 liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine. The combination of the direct injection engine with the six speed automatic engine will reap 30 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in town.

Buick is aiming its sights on the luxury market with this new Lacrosse. Since its conception, Buick has over the past few decades tried to restyle its look from the ‘wallflower’ look of the LeSabre, to the ‘crazy fish-faced’ Riviera. The Lacrosse has the moniker of the most handsome Buick ever built. The shape is modern with touches of retro from the 1930s and 40s, for example the waterfall grill, and the ‘spear’ detail which begins at the headlights swoops over the fenders, and winds itself around to the rear door handles. It also has the old fashioned ventiports which are non-functional but very stylish.

The Buick Lacrosse is the modern interpretation of luxury. It was hard for Buick to define its role in the past because of conflicting GM models. But with the General Motors Company squaring down its output, Buick has been given some breathing room to create brand loyalty again. As well, this new Lacrosse is bargaining on bringing in the younger consumer to buy. Get yourself down to the dealership and take a test drive. Your preconceived notions of your grandparents in their old Buick will definitely be rewritten MK808TS price.
