It was discontinued in the U.S. a few years ago (I owned one of the last ones sold here). Still going strong in China, though, despite an 18% drop in Buick sales last year.

I agree, though....I'm not a fan of the new front end and dash-style that Buick is now using. IMO it looks cheaper than on outgoing models.

 

Look like a goofy face. With eye *****. Robot like.

 

Agreed. In general, fr several reasons, I am not as much of a fan of the most recent Hyundai/Kia products as I was of the ones they built in the 2000s and 2010s...their best years, IMO, although now know they had some engine-fire and theft-issues.

What is interesting, though, is why the new 2004 Lacrosse copies that steering wheel, and the other new/revised Buicks for 2024 do not.

 

Sorry, but moderators on an automotive internet forums are not authorities on racism.

 

Well a lot of manufacturers are going with that long curved continuous display. The pic you posted of Hyundai, though, is not their application of it. Cadillac has shown this in upcoming models. It's where the trend is going.

 

it may not be fully racist but it’s certainly is NOT respectful.

Don’t do it again.

back on topic folks.

 

this looks way better than the Blue front end.




This is best edition of any lacrosse. Too bad it wasn’t built with American labour.





this really is a nice interior design. I like how there is no centre shifter

 

I thought sedans were supposed to be dead.

The big wide touch screens are a big safety issue. Customers want the buttons back!

The red photo looks like a Toyota.

With GM going 100% electric will there be an electric Lacrosse?

 

This new Lacrosse is only for the Chinese market.

Agreed. And Buick just keeps making those touch screens larger and larger.

Yes, somewhat like the last generation Avalon...which, BTW, was a Lacrosse competitor.

GM is going all-electric in the U.S.....it is less-clear in China.

 

What evidence is there that big wide touchscreens are a safety issue? Cars have had touchscreens for 25 years.

 

They aren't necessarily a safety issue for everyone, but can be an issue if drivers have to take their eyes off the road too long while trying to fumble with them or figure them out. My own policy is that if I can't quickly do something I want to on the screen, I will wait until the vehicle is stopped, and then get to it.

Here is a good article on the subject from a law firm that has to deal with the accidents those screens help cause.

The same can be true of manipulating buttons if they don't know what they are doing and need to figure them out. Many carmakers limit what you can do on the screen if the car is moving anyways.

 

We’ve got another long thread about screen vs buttons folks.
