Try to forget the awful commercials for the 2010 Buick LaCrosse for a moment. As ill-conceived as those pathetic attempts to make Buick look cool may have been, the car doesn't really need that much help. It's not the best-looking sedan Buick has ever made, but it's not ugly either and it has some good hardware under the skin.

Is there anything on You Tube that people won't argue over? The funny thing is, the majority of these people would NEVER talk this way to each other face to face. Keyboard gladiators.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that 3.6 V-6 is a joke the engine blow sup and they use them in Malibu Camaro Traverse/Acadia/Enclave and a few other vehicles. I know my dealership has replaced several of them already. 3.0 V-6 has no power at all . the 4cylinder your going no where when you floor this thing. I thought GM was going away with the push rod engine thats what I was told. I still see them...

@dslcobra That sounds disgusting and un-american. 65 itself is slow. I can commute safely at 75 on an open un congested expressway. I love Texas where they have 70 day 65 night and 80 mph speed limits. As far as fuel efficiency people driving Dodge Rams and giant fords dont care anyways, and capping speed will certainly piss them off more than anything. Id tell them buy a vehicle that gets 40 miles per gallon or we cap speed, better yet, tax the crap out of them? Its really just a mess lol :)

@deedundone

Keep in mind that a more extreme method that could possibly become law - for energy efficiency- is to limit cars to 65 mph. I agree, I think speed limits in certain places should be raised.

[deedundone]

@dslcobra No I disagree. 75 miles per hour? Lame.......and it would have to be 80, because of the speed limits in Texas. if people want to go 100 then let them get their license revoked, why should we care about them? Personally i think the speed limmits on certain express ways should just be raised. The one i most often drive is set as 65 but is a spotty mess because they throw up random 55s all over and state police use it as a speed trap. jst set the entire think at 70 and no problems?

[dslcobra]

@deedundone

Frankly, I think American cars should be limited to 75 mph - this way, there possibility of going to 100 becomes impossible and no one could possibly face arrest or license revoke over high speeding. But no one would go for that. All these cars need is enough power to go from 0 -60 in 7 seconds or less. For highway entrance purposes.

@TheHm3 I do, i hate Buick with a passion, but starting in 2010 2011, the face and vehicles and design have entirely changed, except on that ugly Lucerne or whatever. I saw an enclave today and thought WOW, Buick is so cool now, lol. never thought Buick would become, "Cool" in a lifetime lol

[deedundone]

@dslcobra Well the regal is obviously much more thought out than the lacross all together. The only thing that attracts me to the lacross is the chance at a Buick with awd. However I find the regal a much cooler fun to drive looking car that clearly puts Buick on the map. and as far a horsepower, lol.........300 horsepower? i drive a 2000 Nissan quest, 300 hp is ridiculous when i can easily get a ticket going 80 with 170 hp in a late model minivan lol
