The first Buick I ever actually like...
So while driving around yesterday, I notice the ass end of a new car I have never seen before. From a distance I can't make out any markings, and my curiosity is peaked as it looks attractive. We get into some in town traffic and I end up in the adjacent lane but now in front of it. I notice the aggressive big chrome wheels (later to find out they are factory 20"s) and the attractive projector eye headlights. I let it get closer to me and my jaw almost dropped when I see the Buick badge on the front grille! It was a brand new Buick Regal GS. I never like Buicks, but let me tell you, I would rock out in this sedan!
Really impressed.

They've really stepped it up. Katie and I both love the new LaCrosse.

The LaCrosse shares a lot of similar feature as the GS does. I agree, Buick has stepped it up.

Wow, turbo too. I used to do the new car PDIs (new car prep) at the GM dealer I used to work for, among other things. Even in 05/06/07 the LaCrosse was a nice DD, very smooth, quiet and comfortable.

Ehhhh, not to much of a fan.....
But its ok.
Square it all off... make it Darth Vader black.
Slap a huge turbo in it on top of a 6cy, with RWD...... and call it the GNX...
And you will have a WINNER!!!!Last edited by popo8; 03-31-2012 at 11:19 AM.

I liked the concept of this vehicle a lot, but I have heard some terrible things about these motors. If I remember correctly, they are always breaking timing belts. But I personally like them.
