Arminask you are right. The Buick is the replication of the Opel Insignia (german car). That is true Opel, Buick belongs to GM, but anyway this car is a german car.
Couple years ago Opel Omega was made in US as Cadillac.

what a dumb charity, if people cant afford a car they cant afford insurance, gas, or to keep the cars that are donated running. All you'r doing is getting hopes up for a few days just to crush them again.
Do you really think that GM is gonna get out of the hole by building the same kinds of cars that they built back in the '80s and '90s? The '10 LaCrosse might be only one of the first steps in the right direction, but GM is building quality cars now.
You make it sound like HP is the only indication of a good engine. The engine is the same as the one in the camaro and cts. It is capable of much more but was tuned for a balance of horsepower, fuel mileage, and class. Do you think they could have squeezed 350HP out of this thing, probably, but would you buy a buick that got 10MPG?
did that buick just have 17.7 mpg average fuel economy!!!! good grief thats poor. i should hope that to achieve that he was raggin the shit out of it!
The Russian Road Roulette is pretty good, considering the fact that those idiots are thinned from the herd eventually... (Death or Prison and Death, ha ha)

DUDE this is sick !!!!! loved this episode ... is there gonna be one for saturday ??? i heard there will be some car shows at rome on sat ... not sure the time
i disagree about the pointlessness of a fwd vehicle btw the point of a 2wd truck so yeah some downfalls but they are still nice and Sofia's Russin rulette wtf why are pple even walking the streets at midnight but totally effed up game
Why wouldn't ppl we walking the streets at midnight? They could be going to/ leaving a party, bar, club, walking to the train station or parking lot. As a nurse, I get off at midnight, and gotta walk a couple of blocks to my car. Midnight isn't that late, there are tons of ppl walking around.
i guess this is true but either way i agree that the game is dumb and wreckless what ever happend to streetracers closing off streets and racing safely
FWD cars are significantly cheaper. Not everyone can afford a RWD car. Not to mention that RWD cars are basically made for rather sporty cars, more powerful and hence more expensive. THESE (RWD) then, could be, for many ppl out there, the pointless cars...
I cant believe those idiots in Bulgaria!!! assholes.
And about the Buick, I did use to think it was garbage, now however I'll be more specific... Its the vomit inside the garbage.
The interior has cool gadgets but it looks cheaply built and the market its aimed at (retired dentists, boring jewelers) will never give up their Lexus for a Buick. GM needs to focus on its good brands
having actually driven a new LaCrosse and owning a Cobalt SS/SC (probably one of the worst interiors i've ever felt and seen, but really could care less about), i can say that the LaCrosse has WAY higher quality materials and that its DEFINITELY not cheaply made.
and on top of it, the worst parts are the border towns. a lot of mexico isnt like that. live in Mexico City for 5 months when i was a kid, some parts are like that, but just like any other town in any country, it has its bad areas, as well as its high upperclass.
Hhahaha I live in Sofia, BG and i'm involved in some car clubs and drive very often at night and i can assure you that this is not true!!! Some journalist write an article about it in some daily paper and it just spreads!!! It's ALL RUBBISH!!!!
Buick is an american car maker, but the lacrosse is a vauxhall insignia(european car) blinged up. buick are too shit to design a good car themselves.....
@arminask it's all GM though. i've had a few opels.....kinda boring but jesus they are seriously reliable and inexpensive to run. but buicks could be shite....i wouldn't know!
@AMULET72 It’s true that both companies are owned by GM, but I’m sure each of GM's subsidiaries has its own design team. I actually don’t mind designs being shared between different parts of GM, but it’s the ignorance of FLD that I had to point out.
In UK Vauxhalls/Opels are very popular and ok to drive, but back in Lithuania they are kind of looked at as poor man's cars. Probably because everyone wants to own one of the other German brand cars (Audi, BMW etc..)
@arminask YA I WORK WITH A FEW LITHUANIAN GUYS AND SOME POLISH AND LATVIAN FELLAS AND THEY ALL GO FOR AUDI AND BWM.....EVEN VOLKSWAGEN DOESN'T CUT IT FOR THESE LADS.
MAYBE IN ANOTHER FEW DECADES THERE WILL ONLY THREE OR FOUR AUTO MANUFACTURERS LEFT AND WE'LL ALL BE DRIVING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CAR......KINDA HEADING THAT WAY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE ALREADY. AND YES FLD IS A LOAD OF OLD BOLLOCKS
@AMULET72 I think FLD is ok as daily automotive channel, they do manage to find stories that don’t get much coverage elsewhere. Considering that FLD is played to international audiences, their Americanized and nationalistic take on automotive news can be a big put off.
It’s true that VWs aren’t very liked in the east, but I like their new design on the scirocco and other models. I find it interesting how most of VW models share their underpinnings with Audi anyway...
@arminask vauxhall is also like buick to shit to make their own cars. the insignia is designed in germany by opel. im not a fan of opel, but vauxhall only copy the car, they never made their own car. vauxhall is a opel with their own brand label! and its not bad that buick has the same car because the people in the usa only buy buick, not vauxhall or opel!
@pat5at I wouldn't say that Vauxhall and Opel are separate companies, its practically the same company that uses a different name when selling cars in UK. Many Vauxhalls are actually made in the same factories as Opels. Vauxhall have made their own cars a very long time ago, but its just another face of GM now..
Vauxhall its only the comercial brand for the UK market only, the real brand is Opel (European GM brand, originaly German), so it's not a Vauxhall either, the only real Vauxhall's nowadays are from Australia.
I personally dislike Opels form problem in the past with them.. but I've test drived this Insignia and was realy pleased with the build quality and handling. Now it almost feels like a proper german sedan, but just almost, not yet in the same step.
TheBuick Lacrosse is a Vauxhall Insignia with chrome, wood and leather but I don't mind. I guess America has something better than the europeans when it comes to that specific car from GM. But I prefer the lincoln MKS. Kinda reminds me of a lexus. A luxurious version of an existing model and don't give a B*llShitting F*cking Damn about sportiness. Just keeps it slow and gentle.
What's with the cheap looking 90's headlights on the Buick? I'm not talking about the shape, but I thought most cars, especially today's luxury standards included at the least projection type headlights. You know if you truly want World Class luxury, you just can't go GM i'm sorry. Sure the headlights are not an indication of anything, but I hope you understand where i'm getting at with 1 example
first the insurance Institute for Highway Safety is biased since everybody is trying to get their economy back on track and so is us. get them to buy their own things. sounds only logical.
i like the design, but i think its failing a bit on mimicking the 5 series. its getting there thou. chrome stripes are just plain ugly :(
And by the way that Buick is a Vauxhaul Insignia, designed in England Under American eye, & its the Reason why this Buick is a Little bit better than the God Aweful Buicks that existed before it.
the brand was "banned" from the US due to low sales, but GM kept sales (and production) in the country who actually kept buying Buicks... China (300,000+ units in 2008).
Lacrosse is not the only model specifically for this brand, there's another salloon which is actually more sporty and better looking than Lacrosse.
Ok, I take it back about the brand being banned from the states, that info I got from the internet but i didn't properly double checked. Where you are wrong is in where they manufacture. Along with other big brands (VW Group, Mercedes, Nissan, etc) Buick models (some of them) are built in China.
Another correct fact: China is the biggest market for the brand.
Suggestion: chill out your replies d00d, only trying to share data on issues everybody likes: cars!
For years Gm has been selling shit products and now they "Trying" gimme a break, it would piss me off to have bought a buick in 1999 brand new and still only get a 4spd and an archaeic 3.8l 190hp engine, I see it as the consumer being duped.
What the fuck? Derek D is in the backseat all silent while Rich is doing the review of the vehicle?? Suddenly when Rich mentions Derek D, Derek D speaks. That's creepy!!!
Loving the new American cars like this Lacrosse but the company that's really intriguing me is Lincoln. They have an amazing new line-up. They're finally getting it right. P.S this is coming from a Japanese car owner and fan, for years.
please, that buick is just an opel insignia that's been americanized. what do i mean by americanized? bigger, more power, less efficient, more chrome, worse handling, less traction, more vulgar.
by which we have to conclude that, since this car is european and the cadillac cts's chassis is from australia, that america can't make a good car. well american gm anyway. and american ford. and chrysler... so yeah, america.
i liked that intro. and that bike on the right on that truck is just like mine :D its a connondale lefty rush. im not racist at all, but dam those rusians are fucking stupid
the LaCrosse kinda reminded me of a nissan, i don't remember the type, dont care to much for nissans but my neigbor has a nissan that looks like it. and yes, the yanks suck.
your talking about buick is some kind of luxury car?
lol, i think its totally crap. over average horsepower on front wheels....thats for grannys...you think leather on the doors is somthing to mention? thats standard on "real" cars, im talking about mercedes, bmw, audi, even volkswagen has got some rides with that equipment....americans ( carbuiliders) wake up
Lexus is Buick's main target, Edmunds said the LaCrosse is atleast $4500 cheaper than a similarly equipped ES350. Leather is standard in the LaCrosse along with many other features. Luxury cars arn't meant to do anything but be a comfortable ride and somewhat fast in a straight line. The LaCrosse is not meant for handling, that's what the CTS is for.
Honestly, I cannot believe Russian Road Roulette was even thought of. Clearly, this was made from people who got bored at parties, got so drunk that drinking got old, played pong in which they would make it in the cup everytime, got in a car and realized they got drunk so many times driving was doable, and now for the hype run red lights for the buzz and excitement. What is next; robbing wars?
yeah, but they still argue between drivers on the street, which is the one I was talking about, I wish EVO's still did rally... loved watching those cars fly down the stages.

TheBuick Lacrosse is a Vauxhall Insignia with chrome, wood and leather but I don't mind. I guess America has something better than the europeans when it comes to that specific car from GM. But I prefer the lincoln MKS. Kinda reminds me of a lexus. A luxurious version of an existing model and don't give a B*llShitting F*cking Damn about sportiness. Just keeps it slow and gentle.

What's with the cheap looking 90's headlights on the Buick? I'm not talking about the shape, but I thought most cars, especially today's luxury standards included at the least projection type headlights. You know if you truly want World Class luxury, you just can't go GM i'm sorry. Sure the headlights are not an indication of anything, but I hope you understand where i'm getting at with 1 example

I completely agree for me Luxury and GM just don't go together, but their history doesn't lie in luxury, it lies in power, which they still can do.

first the insurance Institute for Highway Safety is biased since everybody is trying to get their economy back on track and so is us. get them to buy their own things. sounds only logical.
i like the design, but i think its failing a bit on mimicking the 5 series. its getting there thou. chrome stripes are just plain ugly :(

seriously, the only thing in relation to the Insignia, is the platform. that's all.
by the way, the Insignia was designed by the Germans aka Opel.

the brand was "banned" from the US due to low sales, but GM kept sales (and production) in the country who actually kept buying Buicks... China (300,000+ units in 2008).
Lacrosse is not the only model specifically for this brand, there's another salloon which is actually more sporty and better looking than Lacrosse.
redananu 2 years ago
wow, what a way to talk out of your ass.
Buick was never banned from the US. they're still sold and built here.
Elmo187 2 years ago
Ok, I take it back about the brand being banned from the states, that info I got from the internet but i didn't properly double checked. Where you are wrong is in where they manufacture. Along with other big brands (VW Group, Mercedes, Nissan, etc) Buick models (some of them) are built in China.
Another correct fact: China is the biggest market for the brand.
Suggestion: chill out your replies d00d, only trying to share data on issues everybody likes: cars!

For years Gm has been selling shit products and now they "Trying" gimme a break, it would piss me off to have bought a buick in 1999 brand new and still only get a 4spd and an archaeic 3.8l 190hp engine, I see it as the consumer being duped.

Loving the new American cars like this Lacrosse but the company that's really intriguing me is Lincoln. They have an amazing new line-up. They're finally getting it right. P.S this is coming from a Japanese car owner and fan, for years.

ya but the chassis that GM gets from Australia is made by a Australian car company that GM owns
LeechBuddy 2 years ago
please, that buick is just an opel insignia that's been americanized. what do i mean by americanized? bigger, more power, less efficient, more chrome, worse handling, less traction, more vulgar.
by which we have to conclude that, since this car is european and the cadillac cts's chassis is from australia, that america can't make a good car. well american gm anyway. and american ford. and chrysler... so yeah, america.

your talking about buick is some kind of luxury car?
lol, i think its totally crap. over average horsepower on front wheels....thats for grannys...you think leather on the doors is somthing to mention? thats standard on "real" cars, im talking about mercedes, bmw, audi, even volkswagen has got some rides with that equipment....americans ( carbuiliders) wake up
habkeinetastatur 2 years ago
Lexus is Buick's main target, Edmunds said the LaCrosse is atleast $4500 cheaper than a similarly equipped ES350. Leather is standard in the LaCrosse along with many other features. Luxury cars arn't meant to do anything but be a comfortable ride and somewhat fast in a straight line. The LaCrosse is not meant for handling, that's what the CTS is for.

Honestly, I cannot believe Russian Road Roulette was even thought of. Clearly, this was made from people who got bored at parties, got so drunk that drinking got old, played pong in which they would make it in the cup everytime, got in a car and realized they got drunk so many times driving was doable, and now for the hype run red lights for the buzz and excitement. What is next; robbing wars?
