At the end of our first day with the LaCrosse we were
relieved to discover something: the Enclave wasn’t a
fluke. It turns out that Buick designers can transfer
their big crossover’s flowing curves, spot-on
proportions and upscale detailing to a midsize sedan
with stunning effect. Of course it takes more than a
pretty face to make us go weak in the knees and type up
a love letter to Buick. Fortunately, like the Enclave,
the LaCrosse’s beauty is more than skin deep. We start
in the long-neglected engine bay where the last LaCrosse
failed to offer up anything but underpowered lumps
(we’re ignoring the subpar and small volume V8 Super
models). That shortcoming is addressed here.

Why Buy It:
It has the wonderfully opulent qualities of the Cadillac
Escalade -- style, power and refinement -- all with the
added benefit of Earth-friendly hybrid technology.
Why Avoid It:
It has a steep $74,000 starting price, which is about
$11,000 more than the basic Escalade.
