I have a 2015 LaCrosse. My first Buick in many years. I love the car. It rides and handles better than I had expected. The car is quiet and fuel efficient. The only problem I have had is the Goodyear tires. They had to be replaced @ 5k because they could not be balanced. GM made me jump through hoops to get them replaced. But it was done and now I'm happy.

I'm so getting this one, nice upgrade from my 1998 Regal

Y'all joke about Buick but I must say when it comes to ride and handling you have to give it to Buick. I'm 25 and I love the ride and comfort of Buick. A lot of people talk shit about Buick because they can't afford it. They are not bad at all and can compete with any brand in a particular segment. The only thing about this is its kind of aged already especially since the impala and Malibu already has this platform already. I think Buick waited to late to bring it into production because the impala debuted in 2013 fall as a 14 model so that's why this seems old looking. Buick is also promoting old tech.i mean all the tech on a Buick even this model is like year or two ago but I must say the little things that Buick does as far as the soft touch, comfortable ride, quite tuning, making sure the components are solid like the armrest, glove box etc really keeps this brand alive because everything else is always out dated.

what do you mean? a Buick is a cheap car.

They've made it look like any common Korean or Japanese sedan now. So many derivative styling cues. That information screen/vent combo design came straight out of the previous generation Genesis.

DAMN!!!! I'm usually an import car guy, but this looks damn good! Looks real good in Black or White. Dear GM, how hard is it to put in some extra wiring and a couple of bulbs for rear amber turn signals? I hate the single bulb, running light, parking brake, turn signal configuration. The chinese market have them, why not here!?

American cars had curves long before Hyundai knew how to build a reliable vehicle. Does it look similar? Sure. But who had it decades ago first? I personally like it and I am 37. I am actually debating paying more on my truck each month to get it paid off faster so I can get one of these in Dark Forest Green!

People, still will never shake the perception about Buick people for old people, but I was THIS close to getting a Buick Regal, one of the most nimble cars out there---right there with the smaller Verano as well. Buick is a much more robust company out there and younger people should really take another look and not scoff at looking different.

you better get it Buick!

Holy freaking hell...new Dream Car.

The interior is a huge improvement over the old Lacrosse. I think this car will do well if they don't get too greedy with their pricing.

It doesn't look like an Azera, but it seems to be a nice, quiet car. It's impressive to hear them remove 300lb. That's not easy.

Looker with a nice HUD; as for resemblance to the Azera? it does have a similar backdoor window and line which begins just before the backdoor handle: Buicks is more swoopy and ends before the trunk while the Azera is more aggressive and goes right into the trunk

Awesome car. Buick has become my car of choice.

I think you're right Nathan. It does look a bit like the Azera from that angle.

Buick just give us a RWD roadmaster and I'm with ya.

The first things that came to mind when looking at this car were the Azera and the CLS.

I would love more than anything to see this car in person even if there will absolutely no way I could ever afford this car. I love the Buick Regal CXL RL2 I driving now. Best vehicle I have I have purchased to date.

This car is what Hyundai Azera (2011) should become. The overall shape is the same, the lines are based on today's best creations. The rear lights remind the charm of Citroën DS5. The interior seems to have materials as good the C and E Class. In fact, Buick rescued the charm left behind in early 1990's.

0:16 DAMN!!!

Haha this guy from Buick was so surprised that somebody under the age of 60 was asking him a question at a car show!

reminds me of the impala, that wide stance at the rear

love Buick

This Buick is absolutly gorgeous! If it's as quiet as what Buick claims, this is going to be a hit with the baby boomers around...

Nathan is right, it also reminds me of the Azera ... Motoman has great reviews too but he's is kind of obnoxious tbh

This is what the new Holden Commodore will be folks!

2018 impala will be on this same platform..cant wait

It looks nice AWD maybe? Just a thought lane assist what if you leaning on the lane if somebody is just to close to me is it going to put me under the 18 wheelers instead.....or will it let me drive how I feel like driving?

Coming soon to a rental fleet near you

Saw the Azera lines before you mentioned it....and not sure if I like the duck tail spoiler...

Nice LeSabre

It has side body molding. Yayyyyyy!

+Lawrence Eich sadly no. The Chevy SS sits on a platform that GM developed with their Australian brand named Holden. Since GM is shutting down their factories in Australia, the platform that the Chevy SS sits on, the Zeta platform as it is called, it will soon be discontinued as its life cycle comes to an end. The previous Generation Camaro also used that platform as well. Since that chassis is being phased out, GM decided to switch the Camaro to their new platform dubbed Alpha, which is used by Cadillac for their ATS and CTS. The Lacrosse sits on the same platform that underpins the Impala, Malibu and the modified Cadillac XTS..........all of which are front wheel drive cars.

@blankerism

8 жыл бұрын

Rell Rell I'd say you're right about it being on a modified longer wheelbase. Actually I was watching another video review on the Lacrosse and the journalist asked a GM executive about specs, such as the length and wheelbase, and the executive said those details wouldn't be released yet. But I'd say its safe to assume that it is longer being that the Impala and the previous Lacrosse sat on a 111 inch wheel base, where as the new Malibu sits on a stretched wheel base going from 107 inches to 111 inches. So naturally I'd say you're right to assume as I am thinking the same thing that Lacrosse would have to go longer and larger in wheel base and over all length of the car as these cars, Impala and Lacrosse, are full size sedans meant to sit above the Malibu.

Drove the new Malibu with start stop last week, absolutely hated it. I'd never buy a vehicle with that technology. It's a shame, too, this Buick looks quite nice aesthetically.

Please sell this in Australia. Once you (GM Detroit) kill off the Holden manufacturing capacity and end the Commodore, don't expect us to buy the Korean/Chinese junk you push. People only buy the Captiva because they're low-information consumers who still think it's made in Australia. Great looking car.

To me it looks like a 2015 Impala, at least from the side view. Two things - I hate fuel fillers on the right, they are a PIA and I really want a split bench seat with column shift - which I know is hopeless these days. Hate those wide consoles. They make even a large car feel cramped.

This car would look nice in pearl black or carbon metallic.

Stop start turned off a lot of buyers and they turned to Impala with reg V6 engine. I was one of them.

The only thing I wanted to know about this car was "they still make that?"

I own a 2014 Impala, so I'll say I'm flattered. One of the reasons I love the 2014 impala vs 2014 lacrosse is because it looked sleeker and longer, even thought they're about the same size. Also I hated that Buick's center stack looked so cheap & cluttered with big plastic button as opposed to the Impala's simple & more sectioned off look and digital climate read outs. This definitely looks better and more luxurious inside and out than the Impala, but it's obvious it was inspired by it's younger sibling.

I'm seeing more Chevy Impala in the haunches more so than the Azzera.

Why don't they just do away with the tires and let it ride on the rims? It looks like there's only about 2 1/2 inches of sidewall, and these are the small rims. Do people who buy LaCrosse's want a canyon carver or a cruiser, which is what most driving is unless you're in the city. In snow states the roads can be rough, with big pot holes which could be hard on these tires and suspension. This car would probably be terrible on snowy roads as well. It is a pretty car though.

Really hate the new trend of congesting the front row with a huge and tall center column. What's the point of these almost shoulder high column that divides the driver and front passenger so deliberately , it almost seems like one of them have a contagious disease or something. Bench seats were the best. Always made the cars look wide open and airy. I hope this trend dies so we can squeeze one more friend in.

wow

The headlamps remind me of a Subaru Legacy....

reminds me of a Chrysler 200 in the rear, but yeah... I can see some Hyundai in the swoops.

I think we saw here the upcoming 2017 Opel Insignia. The Taillights clearly are inspired by the new Opel Astra and the Headlights are looking just as the one from the current Insignia which can optionaly be upgraded to the new Matrix LED Light. Look closely at the spyphotos of the 2017 Insignia and you will become impressed. Little sidefact: The Buick Regal (GS) is a 1 to 1 copy of the current Insignia. Typical for GM, they take everything that has been build by Opel and give it to Vauxhall and other GM Brands to save Money... And now Opel is drowning... I hate GM for that.

Looks just like it's Chevy Impala cousin and actually, a loaded Impala looks better. Of course they most likely share the same platform but I'd expect a different styling and design from Buick.

That grandpa color says it all.

Buick Impala?

I love to look at this car but I don't understand why car models keep getting bigger and bigger. if you look at a Buick LaCrosse from say 2004 or something it looks like a compact car compared to today. Why don't manufacturers stick with the same size platform?? why over the past 15 years if a manufacturer introduces a model 15 years later that model is like 33% bigger than the original model? This looks like it should be today's Lucerne. I know they don't make that anymore but imagine is a Nissan Sentra was now the size of the Maxima..
