    Buicks don't sell in my country, but something about the brand attracted me a lot.
    Acknowledging that I've only seen them in pictures, the brand's cars have always seemed quite beautiful to me, if only uninspiring.
    This version unfortunately is one of the most generic vehicles I've ever seen, missing the swollen lines of the Lucene or even the Holden rebadge called park Avenue in China

      besides styling, it doesn't have thing going on that makes it actually stands out, but yea sometimes people look at brand recognition too much, so when they happens to make 1 good car, barely any people look at it, look at Mazda, they've been killing it the last 5-6 years, and only getting better recently, bur they don't really sell in the US

    If they offered that car for $34K here in the US, I'd buy it. I currently have a 2014 LaCrosse & love it... & I am NOT scared by new tech. I'm just not that overly impressed with it either, & it's not a necessity. Still, aside from the overly garish Lexus-look grille, I like this car. Wish GM would wake up & make a large sedan here under the Buick name again. They'd practically have the market to themselves.

I already have people saying they want to know when I'm going to sell it and I've actually had people come up to me in parking lots and tell me what a beautiful car it is! It's the Mocha metallic, but had some pin striping (very subtle) added, and it just made the looks of the vehicle pop. I'm looking at the 2019's, but gosh, I'd really like a 2024 LaCrosse.

    Unpopular opinion: I really like the new design language. It's controversial, but I love how bold and unique it is and we need that in a car market of a lot of ugly lookalikes.
    I wish Americans would stop being snobs about SUVs and trucks and that Buick would just bring it over here. Even if the top trim spec'd out at $50k I still think it would do excellently. At $34k it's a no-brainer!

      It's just a Vauxhall Insignia. The Insignia was on the E2XX platform and the LaCrosse is on the P2XX platform, which is the same as the E2XX but slightly longer. Just buy a 2.0L Turbo Insignia if you're desperate for something like the LaCrosse.
