Certainly it makes a lot more sense than just having the standard, run of the mill four cylinder as the base engine in a car priced as dearly as the LaCrosse, which is what we have right now.

That said, I think a ~30k price point for what is effectively a very base LaCrosse is still really pushing it. In fact, I think the word optimistic best describes Buick pricing as a whole right now.
The pricing is exactly where it should be, and considering how the average transaction price on LaCrosse is much higher than expected, consumers really don't mind.
