With a major redesign of the Buick 2010 LaCrosse, the new 2011 model was already set to sail ahead of the competition. The 2011 Buick LaCrosse was built on the same great design premise as its 2010 ascendant, but it definitely sports its own unique identity and a few significant new features. It blows other midsize sedans like the Acura TL, Ford Taurus, Hyundai Genesis, and Lexus ES350 out of the water. Specifically, this luxurious vehicle has been mentioned as being a far better option than the ES350, yet it beats the price of the ES with an MSRP of only $26,995. A Los Angeles Times Buick LaCrosse review boldly stated that the vehicle "was built to put the cross-hairs on a single bogie, the Lexus ES350, and . . . it blows the Lexus out of the sky. Pow. Parachute. Smoking crater." You can find the new 2011 LaCrosse, along with many other new and used Buick cars, at Scottsdale Buick dealership, Van Buick GMC.The Buick LaCrosse was first introduced in 2005 as a replacement for the Buick Regal and Century. The second-generation LaCrosse was built on the mid-size Epsilon II platform, which was the same foundation used to create the 2010 Saab 9-5 and the Opel Insignia. A few years down the line, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse became the first North American car to incorporate a front suspension design known as HiPer Strut. This revolutionary suspension feature reduced torque steer and significantly improved ride and handling. This year's model builds on the success of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse's redesign, with added features like a free six-month subscription of OnStar's Directions and Connections plan. Both the new and 2010 Buick LaCrosse, along with many other models are available at Van Buick GMC, a premier Scottsdale Buick dealership.
