My GOD, you have bad taste. My wife and I, in our 30's, have this car. It doesn't photograph beautifully? Have your eyes checked. The portholes? We love them. Imagine the hood without them. Blah. They look great, the car looks great. We get plenty of compliments on them. And you don't need Intellilink AND Nav--the OnStar nav is more than helpful. We use it everyday. Your reviews need a second opinion.

decent review overall. but I believe they're being a tad bit condescending when it comes to the overall review of the quality and detail to styling, which GM actually did a decent job with this time. this car may not be at the top of its class, but it offers plenty to be competitive.

BLUETOOTH STREAMING SUCKS. #1 If the smartphone isn't connected via USB, you can bet the BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. iPhone4S and galaxy 3 I've tested - I KNOW IT. You should connect with USB to charge while the car's streaming audio via USB. #2 A2DP Bluetooth LOCKS UP THE PHONE. What if someone wants to make a call but you don't want the music to stop??? What if you want full HD quality sound instead of compressed digital? USB or AUX will give you that.

I had a 2007 LaCrosse, and yeah it was a lot different in a lot of ways, but it was still a LaCrosse. I wasn't looking for an American Accord or Camry, nor an American Mercedes, though I did expect a well built, reasonably luxurious and (subjectively) good-looking car. I wasn't disappointed. It was quiet, elegant, smooth-riding, adequately powerful, and had luxury features as standard that were optional or not available on competitive models. It was also perfectly reliable. I didn't have a single problem with it in the two years and 40,000 miles or so I put on it. Leather seats, remote start, dual-zone climate controls, heated seats and steering wheel, power everything, on and on.

My grandmother just bought one of these things. I drove it around yesterday. The reviewer covered most of the pros and cons pretty well. I don't remember him mentioning the side rear-view mirrors; they are awful. They are shaped in a bizarre way that makes it difficult to see on the passing lane. Then those damn pillars are gigantic, making changing lanes a bit frightening. Visibility sucks, which is not the idea situation for my granny. The console inside is nice. Styling is hit and miss.

And even if he does bash a car, it's CNET, who has heard of them giving something an inaccurate review? Correct me if i'm wrong but it's the gutsy-ness of CNET that keeps them so popular, and if something isn't up to par, they will surely say it.
