PRESS RELEASE:
BUICK ANNOUNCES PRICING FOR THE 2010 LACROSSE
New Buick LaCrosse Offers Generous List of Standard Equipment in a Package Priced Less Than $28,000
NEW YORK – Buick today announced pricing for the 2010 LaCrosse luxury sedan. It starts at $27,835 for the CX model, including a $750 destination charge.
Standard equipment includes a new, technologically advanced 3.0L direct injection (DI) V-6, premium cloth seats and 17-inch wheels. The 3.0L engine generates 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 217 lb.-ft. of torque (294 Nm) and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
"The new LaCrosse, with its luxurious interior, premium craftsmanship and personal technologies, represents a strong value in today's changing market," said Susan Docherty, Buick-Pontiac-GMC vice president. "It is the next step in Buick's renaissance that is drawing all-new customers to this revitalized brand."
Pricing and details for LaCrosse's other models includes:
* $30,395 for CXL FWD (including destination). Building on the CX model's equipment, it includes the 3.0L DI V-6 and six-speed automatic, but adds leather heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, outside rearview mirror with LED turn indicators and puddle lamps, and 18-inch alloy wheels
* $32,570 for CXL AWD (including destination). Equipment is similar to the CXL FWD model, but includes a fully automatic, intelligent all-wheel-drive system that works in tandem with the anti-lock braking system and StabiliTrak electronic stability control system to deliver sure-footed traction in almost all driving conditions
* $33,765 for CXS (including destination). Equipment includes a 3.6L direct injection V-6; perforated, leather heated and cooled seats, and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels (19-inch wheels are optional). The 3.6L engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and generates 280 horsepower (209 kW) and 259 lb.-ft. of torque (351 Nm)
The 2010 LaCrosse's sculpted design is instantly recognizable as a Buick, with signature 'sweep spear' body-side styling, a waterfall grille and portholes," said Docherty. "Inside, premium materials create an inviting and comfortable environment, with ice blue ambient lighting used throughout – from the center console to the instrument panel and door panels."
A roster of standard and available features delivers a responsive, refined driving experience that is complemented by personal technologies. Examples include:
* European-designed chassis and suspension systems that deliver a confident driving experience
* Real-time damping suspension system
* High-intensity discharge headlamps with adaptive forward lighting
* Side Blind Zone Alert
* Bluetooth phone connectivity
* Rear-seat DVD entertainment system
* Six standard air bags, including roof-mounted head curtain side air bags
Complementing all of LaCrosse's features is Buick's signature QuietTuning, an engineering process that reduces, blocks and absorbs interior noise to provide a distraction-free passenger environment.
LaCrosse production begins early this summer at the Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas City, Kan.

Based on appearance, I would say 28 grand is a pretty competitive price.

Wow, the first Buick I won't be laughing at the white haired crowd for buying.

27K is a bit much for a car from an automaker who won't be around in 6 months.

This is the first Buick I've seen that actually looks great. If they had made cars like this years ago, they wouldn't be in the predicament they're in now.
I don't think a starting price of 28K is bad. You have to remember that Buicks usually have a quiet and somewhat luxurious interiors as well as big motors. Now they're adding an amazingly designed exterior and, as the article stated, a "European-designed chassis and suspension system that deliver a confident driving experience." So it's quiet on the inside, beautiful on the outside, has a decent engine, and might actually have good handling. All that starting at 28K seems rather competitive.

Normally that would be the case but apparently change has come to America. I mean look how things have changed so quickly, Ford quality is on par with Toyota and Nissan, Hyundai is making luxury cars, VW is on it's way to being the 2nd largest automaker, and now Buick introduces a vehicle that actually looks good to people under 70 with possibly good handling. These certainly are crazy times.
It would be weird driving a Buick that doesn't feel like a boat in the corners though.

At first I thought it was the Lincoln MKS!!!! There is nothing NEW, or outstanding with this design. I think GM needs to take this one back to the DRAWING BOARD.

I love the design. The styling is just sweet. If I were in the market I'd definitely look at one. However, the price, quality issues and future of GM would tend to scare me off.

I have $20 bucks that says you nay-sayers have never even been in a Buick (that means you Crap and RT freak). Buicks are actually very luxurious, especially when you consider the competition starts at an extra 10 to 15 grand.

for $28k I'd rather have 2 civics.

@William
I'll take that $20 thanks. I've actually thrown up in a Buick before because of the bounce you all over the place suspension. That's a difference between "comfortable" suspension that doesn't knock your teeth out when you hit a bump and the suspension on a Buick where you're still going up and down (not tons, but enough that it's noticeable) several yards after you hit the bump.

Is it me, or does anyone else know this is a badge engineered Chevy Malibu? So, the same corporate BS from GM. Not impressed.
