egmCarTech: Review: 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS, no longer your daddy’s car

    it's still a Buick. I would never drive a car with that stigma to it. They now need to change to LOGO if they want to get past their failed history.

    Right...it's "no longer your daddy’s car"....it's now your grand-father's car. What a complete joke. The tired old men at GM are designing pointless cars for old men who can't afford to buy the Jaguar sedan. Prediction: no IPO for GM until 2015.

    If it had an Acura faceplate or Honda faceplate all these jerkoffs that posted in front of me would we slobbering all over them selfs. Its a BETTER car and looks great.....I know YOUR daddy told you to buy toyota....right? thought so....I think the new Buick is hot! Read the reviews not the "whines" of Japanese buyers that like to hide in their cookie cutter cars.....r

    I agree if you want to blend into the same crowd of people who shop at JC Penney go buy another Toyota. I think the New Buick is great looking and all the reviews are good(who cares what the internet Honda crowd thinks anyway? they DO drive what somebody else told them to drive. I am going to drive on before my next car purchase. I'll think for myself, Thank you but I have a brain.

    Just traded my Avalon in two weeks ago on the new Buick(You know how it is on a new car you are a bit interested in what others think so I' surfing) I bought a silver Lacrosse and i ABSOLUTELY love it! I wanted something different and after driving one it was a simple no brainer. The Buick blew away the Avalon and besides it makes everyones head turn, its great! No quality issues at all. Nice and tight and very very quiet. Do yourself a favor listen to no one, just go drive it. I was shock to find that since 2000 Buick has equaled Lexus in quality by JD Powers and beat or tied every year...wow.
    (PS I'm only 45)

    not liking this car or for that matter the name of the company "BuYuck" has nothing to do with Ts or Hs but there reputation. After they have 20 successes, I may consider a BuYuck but not until then. Come on, its a GM product. GM is a failed company. It'll take a lot to change the minds of a lot of people.

    "Bobos' what??Go to your teaparties in your toyota and wave an American flag and talk about how great America "used" to be...wow. The problem with YOUR logic like most....you DIDNT buy the company(honda/toyota/nissan/) you BOUGHT A CAR......how stupid. I'll BUY a car and not the belief I'm part of "Something" bigger and grand....Read the reviews not the whines.

    it's funny how some people are so shallow that they won't consider a car based on name alone. If I like a car I will buy it- regardless of what others may think about the car. Not buying this vehicle because it's a Buick if you like everything else is just ridiculous. Think for yourself and buy what you like. I'm not buying a more expensive and dull looking Lexus just because of the badge. BTW, the average age of a Lexus buyer is almost the same as the average age for Buick driver.

    Marketing is intended to persuade people to make purchasing decision based on factors other than logic. Buick and Cadillac have image problems and the lack of a persuasive marketing plan is going to perpetuate the codger image for these brands. I, for one, equate Cadillac's crest and wreath logo as the international symbol of old people. You may say that my thinking is shallow, but it is no more shallow that the people that choose to wear logo laden clothing (Northface, Puma, etc.) or use a phone to define themselves ( iPhone, Android, etc.). Brand identity is a strong motivator for purchases.

    To be shallow in one's choices is not a bad thing. Selecting a car is mostly a discretionary decision and without the ability to set your own criteria we would all be driving the same car that is the same color. I hope that people continue to be irrational in their car buying decisions as that is much more interesting than the alternative.
