Buick LaCrosse (spyshot)
The importance of sedans to the brand's image is not
about to change any time soon, so that makes the new LaCrosse a vital product
for GM's line of laid-back highway cruisers, and here we have it.
Buick took the wraps off the big
sedan at the LA Auto Show almost a year ago, deliveries in the US began a few
months ago and are just getting started in Canada.
That makes seeing one out in the open still wearing
such extensive camouflage wonder what they're up to. A sportier version,
perhaps? The hybrid version that GM is launching in China, which is the only
market as critical to the brand as the United States? An export to Australia to
replace the Holden Commodore. Or maybe the engineers just didn't get around to
(literally) taking the wraps off this particular example?
Whatever it might be, the current generation is
slated to be the one that takes LaCrosse sales up past the million-sold mark,
having already passed 900,000 in its previous iteration. That may not be enough
to eclipse the LeSabre, which remains Buick's most successful nameplate, with
over 6 million between 1959 and 2005.
