From the logbook: 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS

"American companies are excelling while Toyota falls behind in a quagmire of recalls and defective product."

Gotta love it.

No comment from the import folks huh?

This sorry excuse for an automobile simply is undeserving of a comment. Go buy one if you like it so much. End of discussion.

What don’t you like about it, and what leads you to say it is a “sorry excuse for a automobile?” Sounds more like you simply have nothing resourceful, coherent or enlightening to say.

Well from what I read from an UBIASED magazine review is that while the car looks good and rides good, it's still has the typical GM plastic interior issues.
I think Once GM decided that they want to compete and use soft touch plastics and better materials then I will take a look, but I will say it is a step in the right direction, too bad the Buick name is synonymous with old people, something that I think they will never shake. They shouldn't have shut down Saturn.

GM will always have the hard plastic interior. It costs too much in tooling and part cost to have "soft touch" plastics in the cars. Consumers are unwilling to pay GM any more for these vehicles, so they must trim production costs where they can. They do it by using hard cheap plastics, huge fender gaps, cheap tire/wheel combinations, and low buck stereos.

Evidently you haven’t taken the time to research the Lacrosse as the interior is well refined with soft touch premium materials and “cheap interior plastic” is hard to find. Note to self proclaimed auto reviewers, don’t try to discuss things you don’t know anything about.

You must be talking about Toyota.

He is a cheerleader for Toyota.

(new pom poms)

Truckin?

Truckin?

Give credit where credit is due.

Truckin is too busy using zip ties for his floormats and boken tailgate to type anything at this time.

Still waiting truckin. Let's see what those new pom poms can do.

i just received word from truckin that he ran out of zip ties so he will be stoping at his local dealership to pick up more high quality Toyota zip ties.

Let's worry about the 4.5 million recall that Ford just dropped.

Give credit where credit is due.
i dont think so

I like the car also.

If expectations of American cars are low enough, then even a GM POS will "exceeded expectations", if you bring in a decent German design. The recipe is to take the Opel Insignia, dumb it down some for American driving, put a Buick badge on it, and you have it...

And then you woke up.

You forgot to mention the Chinese interior design - that's right, they have the same Commies who gave the world lead painted toys and tainted pet food and medicines designing the "Lexus Killer"
hahahahahahahahaha

GM = Godforsaken Machine
