That car looks really damn good. Fuel mileage is a little low.

From my vault of mostly useless information...

"General Motors Corp renamed its Buick LaCrosse in Canada, because the name for the car is slang for masturbation in Quebec, embarrassed officials with the U.S. automaker said Thursday. GM officials, who declined to be named, said it had been unaware that LaCrosse was a term for self-gratification among teenagers in French-speaking Quebec."

I'm 17, and I think this car look beautiful. Anyone remember the Buick Invicta concept from last year? That was the concept for this car, and it literally looks almost exactly like this, inside and out, with minor changes. If I can find some pix Ill post them. Nice job GM.

EDIT: I found pictures. GM is getting good at converting concept to production

I'll have to agree with you on that. The changes to the exterior make it look classier IMO.

First impression: exterior is nice, more character than most sedans out there. The interior, well the only word that comes to mind is 'rich'

Dang! That is a great looking car!

If one thing is for sure, GM has sure stepped it up with it's interiors. I CAN NOT wait to see what the production Camaro interior will be like.

GM hit another home run with this one. LOVING THE INTERIOR!!!
