Re: 2011 CXL FWD [brandenb]
Hey brandenb. Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Buick Lacrosse CXL FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 0.15% and 45%, respectively.

Re: Buick-GMC Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [cooleydd]
I agree with your comments. The point I was trying to make is exactly what you say. The American public will continue to buy whatever they can afford and want - that's why it is America. The resulting problem is that since we do that and some Americans chose to buy say a Hummer for whatever reason and it gets 8 MPG, we, as a nation, use more fuel than if ... Read More

Re: Buick-GMC Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [crankeee]
We do pay more taxes on gas guzzlers in form of the tax on gasoline and on any taxable repairs. The American people will buy what they want and at the price they can afford. The Auto companies have to build to the public demands. Of course the public is fickle and will change their minds depending on the days news. Unfortunately the Auto companies cannot change production that quickly so ... Read More

Re: Buick-GMC Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [bwia]
It is not just the mfrs that do not learn. The American public went right back to buying huge inefficient vehicles as soon as the last artificial gas crisis was past. The dealers will have to offer big discounts to move the iron and the public will buy them on sale. Same cycle over and over. No National energy policy other than providing the oil companies with their 6% profit margin ... Read More

Re: Buick Lacrosse Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [crankeee]
Now I'm in sync. If you remember I was doing my shopping when many of those changes took place. One in particular, H-arm dropped from CXL & CXS, brought back shortly as an option on CXS but not on CXL, at least while I was buying. What was included then became a pricey option package because the H-arm then included full time active suspension damping with sport mode and GY 19" ... Read More

Re: Buick Lacrosse Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [e_net_rider]
Option pak refers to loading certain models with option packages rather than individually priced options as in the past. For only $3800 as an example you can get say Bluetooth but you have to take sunroof, memory seats and Navigation in the pak. Another approach is to only offer certain options on certain trim levels or models. If you want upscale leather you have to buy the primo upscale model with ... Read More

Re: Buick Lacrosse Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011 [crankeee]
with the ole "option pack" What pack is that? At current gas prices I'm sure many are looking more closely at mileage figures. Younger people are more interested in the Regal. Not to say the Lacrosse is not appealing to a wider market. It is also likely taking from Lucernne sales since it has already passed its last year and as GM has done with other vehicles reaching end of production, ... Read More

Buick Lacrosse Sales Stats- 2010 vs 2011
As Regal (Opel Insignia) sales ramped up the Lacrosse sales flattened out about the same time that GM offered the CX in 4-cylinder (soon to be E.assist only) trim with cloth seats. CXL and CXS with leather and upscale options required additional ~$1400 for a V-6 (3.6L) thanks to marketing gurus. The upscale models also came to the dealers with the ole "option pack" and $34-$38,000 MSRP on the window that ... Read More

Re: An Update [50324lacrosse]
Dave, my 2011 Lacrosse also vibrates at 1500rpm when in park. I bought the Lacrosse because I can tow it behind our motorhome, 4 wheels down, just start (pushbutton) the engine, shift to neutral,stop the engine. Most automatic vehicles you cannot tow 4 wheels down, you have to go to a manual transmission. After having the baseplate installed on the car for the towbar attachment, and towing the car for 1 ...

Re: 4 cyl. enough on 2011 LaCrosse ? [mark_wny]

Re: CXL White Diamond Tricoat paint 2011 CXL [bwia]
The Red has a lot of metal flake and likely why it is more money. The white tricoat is likely as implied, three coats. Allowing dry time between coats probably slows production. Also the White Diamond is not always the same. My Aurora was white diamond which is a brilliant white with just a slight blueish hue. And that is what seems to be what white diamond should be.

Read full article at http://www.automotive.com/2011/12/buick/lacrosse/reviews/index.html A very positive and well written article. Here are a couple excerpts: • “We found that when driven hard, the LaCrosse CXS with the touring package gripped the road well and felt solid and controlled. The touring package includes the best handling components, such as H-arm rear suspension, 19-inch wheels, and continuously variable real-time damping. With this equipment, a very favorable ride/handling tradeoff has been achieved. ... Read More

Beware of limited rear view

Re: 2011 buick lacrosse AWD [awdbl001]
You've informed me of more than I knew on the AWD version. I'd get it to the dealer immediately. Hoping it is something simple like GM neglected to make sure a connector was properly engaged and locked. If something has failed, then it does not speak well of GM quality or longevity.

2011 buick lacrosse AWD
Just passed the 1000 mile mark and the message console tells me that the AWD system and the rear axle need service.

So it looks like I now have a problem with the traction control, AWD, and rear axle..... ... Read More

EPA has finally released figures for combined mileage of Lacrosse. Go to new cars here and chose buick. It lists lacrosse, 2010 & 2011.

Touring tires
For those who bought "Touring Package". The package description tells you which wheel, the special suspension with selectivity, and the tire. The tire specifically says, "P245/40R19 all-season, blackwall tires". The 2011 book listing all options available shows the same info.
