Sorry, Hoovey, my mistake, it was 2010. It didn't actually make the top ten but it was selected by Ward's as a finalist.

I'm surprised it's even on the list as it debuted in 2007 and typically only new cars make the list. Suffice to say I had a Caliber and a Cobalt loaner due to a mishap with a deer. Some of the worst interiors I've ever had the pleasure sitting in

The funny things is that, under that surface glitz and the real wood on the steering wheel, the Lacrosse, (Buick's sedan flagship) actually has one of the worst Buick interiors for the old-style El Cheapo plastic. Much of the interior and controls has a lightweight feel to it. Other Buicks, though, especially the Regal, Verano, and the new Encore, perhaps because they borrow heavily from German-designed Opels, use noticeably better and more durable-feeling materials inside. That was one thing (among many) that sold me on the Verano.

They don't call it the BMW of its segment for nothing

Not suprising though, you can spec a Focus and other things for that sort of money too

I agree with most, except Equus, I don't think it's anything spectacular, especially for its competitive set.

Have you been in a new GM full-size truck SUV? Quality is excellent, its class leading in that class for sure.
