Buick officials have said the future lineup - forecast to be split evenly between cars and truck-based models - could include a new full-size sedan, a rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan and an elegant convertible. Details on future models will be announced later. LaCrosse is assembled at GM's assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
LaCrosse debuts in three versions - the CX, CXL and performance-oriented CXS - with two engine choices. Standard in the CXS is a new aluminum engine, the 3.6L V-6 VVT (variable valve timing), that delivers an estimated 240 horsepower and 230 lb.-ft. of torque and estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. One of a new generation of "high feature" General Motors powerplants, this engine has dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Its fully variable intake and exhaust valve timing delivers 90 percent of the engine's peak torque where it is most useful, between 1600 rpm and 6000 rpm.
The other LaCrosse versions, CX and CXL, are powered by the 3.8L 3800 V-6, now in Series III form. The 3800 generates an estimated 200 horsepower and 225 lb.-ft. of torque. Among its upgrades is an electronic throttle control, which improves engine response and fuel efficiency while reducing complexity, as well as structural upgrades for quieter operation. Estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
Notable exterior features include a larger, more modern rendition of Buick's elliptical, vertical-bar grille framed by four headlamps and sculpted forms in the hood directly above the headlamps that sweep back toward the windshield. Chrome accents and the jewel-like design of the headlamps and taillamps reinforce LaCrosse's premium positioning.

LaCrosse is available in either a five- or six-passenger configuration. Five-passenger models are equipped with a center armrest with deep storage area and console-mounted gearshift lever. Six-passenger models feature a "flip and fold" seatback cushion that can be converted into a spacious center console/armrest with large storage bin. The shift lever in six-passenger models is mounted on the steering column. While LaCrosse CX has cloth seats, the CXL and CXS have premium leather seat surfaces sewn in a "gathered stitch" French seam pattern.
