First Drive: 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS


Talk about being on the tip of the sword. The “new” General Motors has a lot riding on its new Buick LaCrosse five-passenger sedan, the first vehicle introduced since the company emerged from bankruptcy in early July. Are they in the ballpark, or is this just more of the same for the General?
Designed and conceived using GM’s worldwide resources well before bankruptcy was even on the radar, the LaCrosse, which is nothing like the vehicle it replaces, picks and chooses its styling cues carefully. Channeling the Buick Invicta concept car that was shown at the 2008 New York Auto Show, it has been tweaked to be more functional in the “real world.”
