Matt, great review, I don't think you realize how many people watch your reviews on "normal" cars that are a few years old. I love the enthusiast stuff, but I am happy you still do car reviews on a car like this Buick LaCrosse. My neighbor who is elderly, bought one brand new in 2018 is thinking about selling, I never thought I would consider a Buick, but every time he rolls down the block I say wow GM made a real nice car, it just catches my eye and the interior to me is very well done.. Anyway this review is helping me make a decision, if he decides to really sell it. His is loaded and even has All Wheel Drive. Like you I live in PA so All Wheel Drive is nice to have. I also watched your Buick Regal GS review, I know they are different cars, but How would you compare the LaCrosse to the Regal GS. I know the GS obviously handles better, but what about ride, comfort, and interior quality., sound insulation?? Reason I ask another neighbor just got a Lincoln and the Regal GS is just sitting, said he is thinking of selling it. Both of these Buick are impressive in my opinion, LaCrosse looks a bit better, The Regal you can tell sporty, plus has the hatch design instead of a trunk. Anyway, Great reviews, well done.

This is what I posted on Buick's FB page:"Leased a new 2017 Lacrosse with everything including 20" wheels and tires. The car rides like a go kart and won't track in a straight line either. I replaced tires at 500 miles, from the OEM Bridgestsone RE97s to the Continental Extreme Contact DSW 06. Although ride and directional stability improved with the Continentals, the car is still darty and brittle. Folks say it's the 20" wheels with 40 series tires. I still have a Pontiac G8 GT with 19" wheels and 40 series tires, far more aggressive tires, and the G8 rides far far better. Other than this major engineering flaw, the car is fine. There's not a thing the dealer car do either as its in the design. First drove the 18" base and it's a floater so something in between would be nice."

I was tracking along well right up until the handling conversation when the fact that along with 20" wheels this car comes with an active suspension. Yeah, it absorbs bumps well but not because "its a Buick". It does it because it has the same tech that's used in a Z51 Vette and the Caddy CTS-Vs etc. The standard suspension, sans active suspension, I understand to ride more "like a Buick". Also... why no mention that it shares the platform with the Impala? The aforementioned suspension being one of the key differentiators.

I would of understand that lexus dont make enough "HP" for yourself, but don't come here saying is not sporty and it's a rebadged toyota because your just making yourself look idiotic and a fanboy, if you need more power put a damn supercharger on a is-f and you can spank any mustang or german garbage, and have the most reliable fastest car ever. Don't come in here talking all this crap that comes out your mouth brother. For the average people that don't take they're car to the track "306HP to 416HP" is more than enough power to satisfie anyone. And like i said if you want more power and reliability just slap a supercharger on it and you'll have the best of both world's.

There are very few large sedans on the market that are DIRECT competitors for the Hyundai Genesis. The Buick Lacrosse is a DIRECT competitor for the Genesis/G80/HTRAC: available with AWD and nice luxury features such as a HUD, massage seats, Forward/ Side Collision alerts and other technology based safety features. Both the Lacrosse and Genesis are excellent large, retiree cars without the flash and bling of the Continental, CT6 or other $60,000 - $70,000 cars. It has the size of the CT6 inside, but lacks to optional power and sportiness of the Chevy SS. GM isn't serious about their cars because they should have made an AWD version with an optional V8. They are simply offering "just enough" to stay afloat - taking no chances. This car is a perfect geriatric cruiser for Grandma and Grandpa but it's BORING.
