Buick LaCrosse -- 2010 model
The redesigned 2010 Buick LaCrosse draws heavily on the styling themes seen on the Buick Invicta concept, shown at the 2008 Beijing auto show. Buick is moving the sedan upmarket and thinks it now has the hardware to attract Acura, Toyota and Nissan shoppers. The LaCrosse is the first North American vehicle engineered on GM's new global front- drive mid-sized vehicle architecture.
