@mpgomatic

Does it have the MPG meter yet in the 2012?

[mpgomatic]

@joewillgo Haven't see the 2012 yet. Hoping to test the LaCrosse eAssist soon.

FORD is much better :D

[KoolCordell]

You should test the 2011 it has 280/259

@KoolCordell

In '11 - the 3L V-6 was discontinued. I like the 3.6 L V6 - and in '12, the V-6 goes to 303 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque.

I just love this Car!!!!

[chm97chm97]

Has anyone driven this model? How does the AWD handle? How does the ride feel? Is steering responsive? Quiet on the highway? TIA.

[GmTruckCarLove]

@austinman1995 No problem.

[GmTruckCarLove]

@austinman1995 This car is not a SUV it is just a car

[GmTruckCarLove]

@austinman1995 That car is not in your audi's class. For your class go and look at the CTS-V or CTS-V coupe.

[shred5]

One of the nicest interiors on a newer car in it's class and neighboring classes but not nearly as nice as any Buick from the early 80s before they started going FWD and getting super cheap. Not even close...

[spritz0]

Most USEFUL & GORGEOUS Buick ever!!

[Jmanmadness23]

This was a great everyday driver, no BS review. If I was in the market, this vid would definitely have me at a dealership asap.

[CentauriAB]

I love high revving engines. They just sound better to me.

[bamac2008]

Old ppl arent going 2 like all of those buttons in the center stack!

[GerryK61]

There is still the optional 306Hp 268ftlbs engine for people that want more power.

[theclipper505]

does the awd CXL make less torque than the FWD? The FWD is rated at 217lb/ft and seems to have the same engine...

[mpgomatic]

Yep ... they're tweaked a bit differently. The AWD CXL 215 lb/ft.

[theclipper505]

This is quite an interesting engine for a Buick. Older models always tended to have more torque than HP, this one has considerably less torque vs HP (most likely due to smaller engine size + the addition of VVT). I'm glad Buick has finally figured it out and brought over a chinese model to the states. Hopefully they can churn a profit now!

[timtrain35]

Tony Bennett??????

[raptor750r]

258HP and only 188 ft lbs? Seems a little low? No matter, its still a nice car. Finally buick is getting back in the game with nice looking cars compared to those repulsive lesabres from 92-99.

[bg1379]

According to Buick, it has 215 lb ft. I was thinking "Man, that just doesn't sound right at all"

[mpgomatic]

Thanks for the catch! I transposed the wrong number from the spec sheet. Added an annotation to the video and fixed it on the MPGomatic web site.

[Blue387]

Very nice.

[bmtimv]

Its not bad at all

[luisomtz20]

I don't really like american cars, but this one is great. The interior looks fantastic, something rarely common on american cars. keep up the good job GM

[gunzkevin]

The interior on many fords is rated higher than their competitors.

[mercmilan06]

For the price of the CXL AWD, I'd have to buy the Lincoln MKZ with AWD. It's considerably more powerful, has premium Bridge of Weir Scottish leather, many more standard features and it's sharper and more agile. Also, the LaCrosse looks very good in it's upper trip levels, BUT I saw a base model the other day and it looked horrible with it's little tiny wheels that just looked silly on such a bloated car.

[bajabusta]

I hate to admit it, but it is pretty.

[rudolphna54]

I'd buy it. GM is really pushing excellent products now.

[tmitch965]

personally, id buy a lexus

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

I dont trust them anymore with this throttle sticking problem.

[tmitch965]

so you'll buy a buick? pure genius. do the smart thing and buy foreign. or do the right thing and buy domestic, ie ford, not gm. but to each their own

[gunzkevin]

You know that the throttle sticking was on 2004 prisus's and 2009 lexus is's and it was because of floor mats, nothing else.

[PorscheCayenneLover]

That's Lexus, not Buick. Yeah, Toyota/Lexus is NOT for me. Toyota/Lexus are nothing but soul-less cars with crappy interiors. Their interiors were amazing... 5 YEARS AGO!!

[kenneykole]

@NotARealUTubeAccount

Are you talking about this gm or lexus?

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

@kenneykole I was referring to someone who was considering buying a Toyota....5 Months ago.
