Default 2024 Buick Lacrosse unveiled

Buick Lacrosse








I like the interior. Nice rear end even though they copied other brands

But that front …. Seriously ugly

not sure why you didn't post a pic of the whole car, but here it is...




looks very generic / derivative.

anyway, only being sold in china, so no care.

Pincher bug front styling. Not getting this look on many new GM's. Tail looks good though.
Will compete with the similar Avalon... if that car is still sold in other countries.

The rear looks good.
But the front nose reminds me RX350 or Honda Accord/Civic.

Styling seems appropriate for China.

No surprises here. Buick did the same thing to the new Lacrosse that they did to the all-new 2024 Envista and the 2024 Encore GX mid-cycle update.....copied the show-car Wildcat's front-end shark-nose grille and styling, added that same new wide-screen dash, and used the same new tri-color badge. The Lacrosse's steering wheel is different, though, from the Envista and Encore GX........ it looks like it was taken from a recent Hyundai or Kia product.

Just noticed one other thing....the front-fender imitation-portholes are gone, something that started several years ago on other Buick models. One more Buick tradition headed for the museums.

They will gobble up every one in China that can be produced. The Chinese LOVE Buicks...it is as much of a national-symbol in that country as eating rice. Over there, they are not like many here in there U.S. that consider it mainly a geriatric brand. 80% of Buick's worldwide sales come from China.

Sales were down 18% last year in China and Buick isn’t even in the top 10 of brands sold there so maybe they have had enough. Now, if you were talking VW you’d most likely be correct (maybe not the rice part)..

It was the potentially racist statement about Chinese people eating rice that made me cringe, actually.
