They just keep getting uglier... and they keep selling. I don't get it.

Nice review. I am starting to like Nissan for the first time since they had a 300ZX.

I've read two articles about the new LaX and they've called it things like "the segment leader" and have raved endlessly about it.

Those are damn good numbers given the size/power of the car.

Interesting. I just noticed the fuel tank is only 15.8 gallons (16.2 for AWD). That's quite a bit down from the 19.5 gallons of the current LaCrosse. I wonder what the fuel efficiency numbers will be with the 8-speed and auto start/stop.

Yes! I am torn between the Dark Sapphire and Dark Forest Green Metallic paints... it would be SO nice to see a dark green car again.

Just realized fog lamps are standard, but there is no spare tire on the base model. I didn't see anywhere they include a tire inflation kit, but I'm assuming that comes with.

According to Buick.com, it starts at $32,065. I think that's an awesome price considering what you get standard. You can't configure/build it on the site yet, though.

My parents are currently saying "goodbye" to their 2006 Sonata as its starting to fall apart. They loved it for around town stuff. I wasn't a fan. This, I like.

That's sad... I liked the Verano a lot. I see a ton of them on the road, surprisingly. I liked it when I test-drove it, but there was literally no back seat behind me when I got in and put the seat back.

I do agree... it's absurd how many people on Long Island think AWD is essential when our biggest problem is ice in the winter, and AWD is not really going to help when you're skidding into an intersection... yet SO many people I know insist, "I need to have AWD!"

The 2017 Buick LaCrosse Ordering Guide is up... Some notable standard features: leatherette is the standard material on the base trim 8-speaker audio HID headlights Rear vision camera (although that's standard on the current LaCrosse) Rear Park Assist 8-speed auto active noise canceling through the speakers moonglow white ambient lighting 18" painted aluminum wheels Optional Niceties include: ventilated and massaging seats 11-speaker bose centerpoint surround sound wireless charging Nice to see Forest Green Metallic as a color option and the interior color combos sound like there are a few more choices than your standard beige, gray, black. http://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NASApp/domestic/vehiclesel.jsp?year=2017&regionID=1&divisionID=4

Wonder why they didn't put the updated steering wheel in.

Would be fun to see the Cascada engine as an option.

Huge improvement to the interior IMO. Like the tweaks to the lights... although it gives me an Audi/VW feel.

It's hard to tell with all the camo, but I'm not thrilled with what I think it looks like.

Well, I'm happy. I always wanted nav in my car but refused to spend the money for it.

Any idea when we'll see it? It's been over 3 months since you posted that. The 200 and CC are both beautiful cars. I LOVE the idea of a Pentastar 200.

So.... This guy is the head of Buick design in Michigan, and I was appalled by his presentation of the Cascada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPL8nxbTKDE Problems I had: "The fit and finish is superior in this vehicle." Superior to what? "It's a very simple interior." You have 46 buttons on the center stack. FORTY-SIX. All touching each other. "This car is not all about the latest technologies.... It's more about the driver's experience, and sense of well-being." Perhaps you shouldn't lead off with saying this car doesn't have the latest technology. "... very simple controls, very simple layout." FORTY-SIX buttons and 4 dials in your center stack, squished together. "This is a perforated leather. This enables the heated seats." It enables the heated seats to what? You just stopped mid-sentence. I know a ton of cars with heated seats that don't have perforated leather. Why should I care? "This is a Buick-exclusive color, neutral." No it isn't, it's in Chevy, too. And let's face it, it's light tan. Nothing special. "As you can see, you've got very spacious rear-seating compartment for 4 full-sized adults." The front seats are practically touching the rear seats, they're so far back. He claims he has additional knee-room, yet his knees are inside the seat cutouts for he knees, and it appears they're touching the seat. And then he says the seat is "almost all the way back". Well, then, when the seat is back completely, an adult can't sit back there. He boasts the electrically-assisted buttons in the trunk to fold the rear seats flat, but then he has to walk up to the rear seats and unzip a seal. Why did I need the electric-assist if I had to reach into the car by the rear seats anyway? Am I being too nit-picky?

This will sell like crazy. Can't deny when I saw the name Pacifica, I was hoping for a proper Pacifica successor.

LOVE the interior.... completely disappointed with the exterior... Odd, because I loved the concept.

Improvement. They also fixed the taillamps I hated.

I'm sorry, I don't understand why we can't just leave it be? It is the only Cadillac to have a "name" still, it has very positive recognition, they're making money with it, it's not an eyesore (no one is ashamed it exists), so why just not leave it alone? It's beautifully equipped, has a beautiful interior, shares brand styling cues, and people want it in the US... what's wrong? Make the rest of the brand what you want and leave this for fun. As long as it's not losing money, I don't see why it has to go.
