Buick LaCrosse styling

#3. That Buick’s a beaut.

Casual observers might have a hard time identifying the 2010 LaCrosse as a Buick. Once known for rather sedate, conservative styling (and similar driving dynamics), Buick is now represented by edgy designs that hint at sport and luxury.

Greeting onlookers is an aggressive front end, with eye-like headlamps serving to bookend a prominent, slotted grille. Feeding off the upper edges of the grille are sharp creases in the hood, which, when combined with the slightly flared front fenders, give the LaCrosse a very distinct – and appealing – look. Take a gander from the side and you’ll see body contours and a low roofline that give the LaCrosse an athletic appearance. It’s all wrapped up at the rear end with clean lines and taillights that make us immediately think of the Mazda6.

For its part, the interior is decidedly modern, characterized by soft curves, mood lighting, and alloy-like trim pieces (actual aluminum would be nice, but we digress). Countering those niceties was the placement of the door lock/unlock button on the center of the dash and awkward door grab handles.
