2005 LaCrosse

LaCrosse production car should do much for Buick's fortunes in the cutthroat family sedan segment. It's a direct replacement for the Regal and its budget-oriented Century twin, but a new engine, a higher-quality interior, a longer equipment list and a reworked suspension should allow it to move uptown in image if not in price. On the outside, the LaCrosse blends traditional Buick styling cues - a softly curved hood and a vertical-slat grille - with current-day trends.

On March 12, 2005, my girlfriend traded her thoroughly mediocre 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan for a new Buick LaCrosse CX. The Cutlass had been experiencing chronic cooling system problems. When she was confronted with the prospect of paying another $535 to replace the intake manifold gasket on the... Read full review »

Can the LaCrosse plug a massive hole in GM's line-up?

Cons Blah exterior, cramped rear seat, pricey

Through the mid-1980s GM owned the midsize car market. Two decades later, it is struggling to remain a player in a segment now dominated by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. During the 1990s Oldsmobile was given the task of challenging the import brands with cars like the Intrigue. My wife drove... Read full review »
