Reader Review of the Week: 2010 Buick LaCrosse
“Vitality” recently purchased a 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS and has become a big LaCrosse fan. As GM tries to build Buick into a heavy hitter in the luxury market, it will need fans like “Vitality” singing the brand’s praises. However, there’s always room for improvement, and this reviewer points out the flaws — both inside and under the hood — that Buick overlooked. He also mentions getting rebates on the brand-new model. Read the full review and then post your own here.
“I just bought my black on black CXS (with nav and heads-up display) last week after trading in my ‘07 Camry XLE, and I'm amazed by this new Buick. The ride is second to none, the exterior turns heads and the interior is out of this world.
“Gripes are few: one, no glasses holder anywhere in the car. Two, cupholders are huge and take up too much room but can be taken out. Three, it could use a bit more horsepower — at least with the Touring Package since the car is large and heavy, and shifting gears yourself is not as fun when you only have 280 horsepower.
“Other than these three small complaints, I can't think of anything that would stop people from buying this car, especially at the price of $39k minus the rebates. It comes with all the features you can possibly think of and delivers them in a beautiful package. This is a true American luxury car that deserves to be noticed.”

I'd like to get one of these beauties! What kind of "rebates" did you get on yours?
Saw one on the road the other day and it is definitely a car that grabs your attention. Some cars just look great on the road and this is one of them in my view.
I don't know, I don't find this car to be particularly good looking as far the exterior. It looks awfully 'smooshed' in terms of the front to back. At first I though it looked great in pictures, but in person not so much.
I don't understand this comment either "shifting gears yourself is not as fun when you only have 280 horsepower." Only 280 hp? Come on... and shifting gears yourself? I assume this is some kind of reference to an auto-stick thing. I don't mean to sound bourgeois, but you are hardly shifting yourself.
I also have a problem with a review that says something like this, "I can't think of anything that would stop people from buying this car, especially at the price of $39k minus the rebates." 39K. That is alone enough to stop me.
I don't really buy this as a genuine, objective review of this car.
i would have liked 2 have known what kind of gas mileage he got!?
