You must disagree with Ward's, then. They gave the new Lacrosse one of the Ten Best Interiors award....a fact that you yourself noted some time ago, when you also said you liked it. The new Lincoln Continental, BTW, is also on the list.
I hope you are correct about the Lacrosse still being available in the future in the U.S......even if it has to come from China. Even with its (admittedly) few faults, I simply love this car as a daily-driver. Very strong chance I'll get another one in three or four more years if it is available....unless they screw it up with firmer wheels/tires or suspension or firmer seats inside.

(and, to be fair, there are some things inside my Lacrosse that IMO could have been better-done, like the quality of the paddle-shifters, steering-wheel trim, and a cloth/velour-seat option instead of Leatherette)
Who knows if that will happen. If Ford can't make money with their sedans in the US, I doubt GM can.
I'm often a repeat customer if I get good service and experience, am a lot more amiable to sedans than many of today's SUV-fans, don't need financing, provide good-condition/well-kept trade-ins, and, perhaps most important, write checks that don't bounce. Not bragging....just stating a fact.

Same complaint I have with the 2013-2016 ES and the LaCrosse, both have interiors that look good but some of the material choices are questionable. I would prefer cheaper materials that wear well and have a consistent look with the rest of the interior instead of throwing contrasting textures together. On the other hand, anything's possible once you get up to LS money - I sat in the top spec model with the glass trim at my dealer today and everything looked and felt seriously expensive.
