| LA Preview: GM releases teaser pic of 2010 Buick Lacrosse | | 2008-08-26 16:14:00 | | Oh sure, we've already shown you spy shots of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse that reveal the kit and kaboodle, but don't let that take away from GM's release of a teaser shot showing the upcoming sedan's new grille. Along with the pic, GM confirmed that the new LaCrosse will debut at the upcoming LA Auto Show in November. We'll be there to cover the reveal, as this smallest of Buick sedans (for now) will be a big player in the brand's future success. It's nice and all to have a critically acclaimed full-size crossover in the Enclave, but more and more buyers are moving away from big CUVs into smaller vehicles at the moment, and Buick hopes they'll move right into the new LaCrosse.[Source: GM]Tag: LA Auto Show, Sedans Saloons, Buick... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Spy Shots: 2010 Buick LaCrosse caught completely uncovered | | 2008-08-10 08:58:00 | | Though the newish Buick Enclave has received plenty of accolades, it's the right vehicle at the wrong time for GM's smallest brand. The other two vehicles in Buick's lineup – the LaCrosse mid-size sedan and Lucerne large sedan – might better appeal to gas-conscious buyers than a large CUV, but they're far from leaders in their segment. A new LaCrosse, however, will reportedly be arriving as a 2010 model. Car and Driver just published these spy shots of a pre-production model caught with its camouflage pants down, and they reveal its design will borrow heavily from the Invicta Concept that was revealed at this year's Beijing Motor Show. That's not a bad thing, as the Invicta is a fetching sedan that went over well with the Chinese crowds. And while we could be mislead by the grainy quality of these spy shots, we swear there are two rows of portholes on the hood.The '10 LaCrosse will likely arrive atop GM's Epsilon II platform that also underpins the upcoming Insignia and will next f... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Spied: 2010 Buick LaCrosse | | 2008-08-08 21:25:00 | | In just its third model year since debuting for 2005, the Buick LaCrosse is still a relatively new vehicle. While a freshening was expected—and confirmed earlier this year—for 2009, we weren’t under the impression that Buick’s mid-size sedan was being totally redesigned so soon. However, in light of these leaked photos of a pre-production 2010 LaCrosse, it appears GM has put the car on fast-forward. While grainy, these photos do give us the very first look at the car without camouflag... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Spy Shots: 2010 Buick LaCrosse spotted in the wild | | 2008-07-07 13:21:00 | | Autoblog reader Mike dropped us a note the other day to let us he had spotted this car tooling around in Troy MI. Being a vigilant Autoblog reader he had a camera handy and snapped off a series of photos. Mike was unable to identify the car in question, but we've seen this machine before. It's the next generation Buick LaCrosse although it's not known if GM will retain that branding. The new Buick is built on GM's Epsilon II platform which is shared with the new Opel Insignia. Thanks to Mike for the photos![Source: Autoblog reader Mike]Tag: Spy Photos, Buick1... | | By: Car News | | |

| Buick Invicta Concept (Beijing 2008) | | 2008-04-30 15:05:00 | | Invicta -- the star of GM's stand at the 2008 AutoChina show in Beijing -- is also widely believed to be what the 2010 Buick LaCrosse that's been spied testing will become when it makes its appearance on Buick showroom floors in both China and the U.S. The LaCrosse is a nameplate sold both here and in China, but the cars are substantially different. That will change with the next LaCrosse, which will be underpinned by GM's global Epsilon II architecture. The Epsilon II is front-drive based but all-wheel drive capable. Powering the Invicta concept is a version of GM's 2.0-liter, direct-injection turbo four cylinder with an estimated 250 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.... | | By: Auto linx | | |
| | Beijing Show 2008 Highlights: Buick Invicta Concept | | 2008-04-22 00:10:00 | | The once proud all-American Buick brand is making its second renaissance - albeit away from its birthplace. The Invicta concept is the second Buick concept unveiled in China in the last two years, following from the Riviera concept unveiled at Shanghai last year. As with the Riviera, China has again played a significant role in designing, developing and premiering the car. The Invicta concept can best be described as a four-door luxury sports coupe, with styling that demonstates a good over... | | By: My Blog | | |
| | Beijing 2008: Live reveal of the Buick Invicta concept | | 2008-04-21 06:52:00 | | On the eve of the Beijing Motor Show ,General Motors Chairman Rick Wagoner and Design VP Ed Welburn along with their Chinese colleagues unveiled the Buick Invicta concept. Your regular Autoblog team didn't make the trek to China for this show, but our cohorts at Autoblog Chinese showed up for GM's Premier Night party to check out what will be the replacement for the current LaCrosse. The car was revealed sitting on a pool of water, perhaps implying that it is Buick's messiah, standing by to breathe new life into the brand Stateside. Buick is of course thriving in China, and some of the same team that created last year's Riviera concept participated in the styling of this new model. This design riding on the Epsilon II platform is expected to make the transition to production pretty much unscathed although the roofline might be slightly higher.[beijing, beijing 2008, beijing motor show, Beijing2008, beijingmotorshow, breaking, buick, buick invicta, buick invicta concept, buick-invicta,... | | By: Car News | | |

| | Spied: 2010 Buick Invicta/LaCrosse | | 2008-04-15 02:39:00 | | General Motors previewed its Beijing auto show "concept" Monday; the Buick Invicta sedan. The Invicta is said to hint at the next-generation LaCrosse, which will be built off the second-generation Epsilon (Chevy Malibu/Pontiac G6/Saturn Aura/Saab 9-3) platform, but really, what showgoers will see Saturday is pretty much the real car. Its styling, says GM interior design chief Dave Lyon, will feature modern interpretations of the Buick portholes (or "ventiports" as they were called in the '50s) a... | | By: My Blog | | |

He said elements of cars like the Enclave SUV, the Lucerne sedan, as well as the Velite and Riviera concept sustain the trend."China is a growth area, but we need a single design aesthetic for both Asia [and the West],"... | | By: Autos Space | | |

We’re getting a bit tired of trying to keep up with what models GM plans to underpin with a rear-wheel-drive platform.

| | New Car: 2009 Buick Lucerne Super | | 2008-02-06 05:05:00 | | The Buick Lucerne Super -- with an MSRP of $39,395 including a $765 destination charge -- has the most expensive base price of any 2008 Buick. For the money, a Super driver gets a healthy dose of standard equipment, starting with a tweaked 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 engine delivering 292 horsepower, up from the Lucerne CXS's 275 horsepower Northstar, but curiously down eight horses on the 5.3-liter V-8 in the LaCrosse Super.Nevertheless, the Lucerne Super is set apart from lesser Lucernes with its ... | | By: My Blog | | |

GM has finally given a vehicle for Buick to compete even if it competes with other GM brands.The GMC Acadia has been a super seller and the Buick Enclave should see great results as well. The one that I have seen personally has leather, heated seats, 2 sunroofs, DVD, and several other little bells and whistles and lists for $39200 which is actually comparable on price to its GMC sister vehicle. Stop in your local Buick showroom and take a look at this 3 row crossover GM jewel!

| | Buick to revive Skylark nameplate in China | | 2007-05-25 10:05:35 | | The Skylark had its days in the 80’s and 90’s. The impression that remained of the Skylark was certainly not positive. However, GM did not market the Skylark outside of the US. So the nameplate will be revived in China for the successor of their Excelle compact sedan, based on the Daewoo Lacetti. The Skylark will sit on GM’s new Delta II platform, which will underpin the next Cobalt, G6 and Saturn Astra.
The Skylark will be engineered and built in GM’s Chinese facilities and it may be one of the first vehicles from GM China destined for the US. While we have little or no idea on how it will shape up, we can predict that it will be widely received in the US. The Park Avenue, based on the Holden WM Statesman, had a distinct interior designed in China and we still hear pleads from GM enthusiasts to bring it over to the US. While GM already had three compact cars in the pipeline, it wouldn’t hurt for a fourth one. But the real question is: Are Americans ready ... | | By: Car O Focus | | |
