For years, sales of the Buick brand have been high overseas, especially in places like China, which buys more of the product that any other country in the world.
The Lacrosse is one of the reasons that Buick has such a good name as it exudes a feeling of quality among its buyers. It is equipped with a 3.6-liter direct injection V-6, real-time active-dampening suspension (optional), perforated leather-appointed, heated, and ventilated seats, and chrome-plated 18-inch alloy wheels. The engine comes in a 6-speed automatic transmission that generates 280 hp and 259 lb.-ft of torque.
Heated and ventilated seats kept me warm in Dallas when our first cool front came through last week. The ambient blue lighting in the instrument panel, on the doors and at other often-darkened corners made for happy and comforting night riding.
Pricing for the 2010 Lacrosse starts at just a little under $28,000. The top base model, and the one I got to test-drive for a week, was just a little over $33,000. The mileage was 17 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. I averaged a little less in the city and a little better on my trip out west.
Buick also offers an optional 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. It doesn’t carry all the amenities or luxury accessories of the 3.6L, but gets around 30 mpg. At my slightly slumping age and increasing profile, I prefer the larger engine with the luxuries. But lop off 30 years and 35 pounds and I would be in the market for the smaller engine. Regardless of which engine you choose, the interior of the vehicle is spectacular and the comfortable ride gives you a taste of luxury.
