Does it have a VXR button that turns the gauges red? :D

The 2010 Lacrosse looks great too IMO. Not sure if I would ever buy one though since they are geared more towards the cushy luxury crowd and not the premium sport crowd.

EDIT: Wait, what? 6MT in a Buick?! :shock:

Pfft, looks like the Regal GS is getting a 255hp 2.0L ECOTEC turbo 4. Wheres the 320+ hp 2.8L turbo V6 from the Insignia VXR?

Heck yeah. I'd buy a 2008 Buick Lucerne Super (or CXS) with about a 290hp 4.6 Northstar V8 as well.
The LaCrosse Super from 07-09 had the LS4 in it, 300hp/323tq shwing!

Sure, they were both front wheel drive and automatic only, but still, those cars could haul some ass and were major sleepers. And of course Buick didn't sell many of them.

Lincoln tried a 5-speed when they introduced the LS. I NEVER talked to a salesman who knew anything about it. The take rate was so low it lasted three years. The only shot Buick has at better sales staff is that they might have inherited some of Pontiac's.

$30k-$35k a Buick? That's a bit rich. I can see why Tiger was in a Cadillac instead.

Speaking of Cadillac, I'd trade my $35k for a CTS. I want that 3.0L V6 that makes 270hp with stern drive. Or maybe the 328i with that throttleless inline 6.

That's the way Buick used to be...it was just one step short of Cadillac.
