LaCrosse is at 52k units through October of this year and inventory on lot numbers make it very clear that LaCrosse is a lot of things, but volume limited isn't one of them.
As for reasons why the Buick is worth 5k more than the Taurus, it's going to take an imaginative mind to come up with an argument for the same but if you're willing to try I'll read it.

Drive both cars in anything near "spirited" and you'll gladly pay for the Buick name and the chassis that goes with it. Also you will find the Buick much quieter than the Taurus as well. To get close to the Buick, you need to jump to the Lincoln. Yes, I've driven all three cars, and yes, I may be a bit biased, but even the Lincoln is a squirley handfull on some twisties compared to the LaCrosse.
Now if you like the Taurus, that's great. It's a really nice car for the money......................it's just that the LaCrosse is also a good car for the money...............but simply a better car.
In my mind there would be only two possible reasons to buy the Ford, either you like the styling or think Sync is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I too like the Taurus styling. I don't think Sync is all that great but understand why some people do. And both cars are selling well, but remember when the Taurus was the #1 seller at over 300,000 units? Yeahhhh, that was a lonnnng time ago.
