What new vehicles are in store for Buick
What gets me is that Caddy doesn't have a car that can compete with the 7-series, A8 or S-Class... why do people think a lesser luxury division, Buick, should get a car that competes with that?

reflections on Brokeback Mountain
Well, I saw the movie today... I am absolutely torn apart... I haven't felt like this in, well, a long time. Granted I'm kinda going through heartbreak right now, I was just absolutely destroyed over and over during the course of the movie, and almost felt like I could relate to a degree. I loudly gasped at the end when the story of what happened to Jack Twist, as told by his ex wife (are they called ex if they're separated?) I couldn't even talk for a while, and my friend Stacy knew what was on my mind, so she let me be. But here it is, 8 hours later, and I'm still as frazzled as I was before. And I felt SO bad for Michelle Williams' character, Alma... having tried twice to do the "straight" thing and force myself to be with women... just knowing I couldn't give "all" of myself, heart and soul, to the girl... I could feel her pain, and understood her reaction as I caused it to happen with two women before. And Ennis' shame he felt, when he got violent as Alma confronted him during dinner after they were divorced... the rage that wants to overtake you... it just hit too many nerves inside me. It took me to a place I never wanted to go back to again. Was a very difficult movie to watch. Incredibly powerful.

Buick planning up-level LaCrosse
Another good example would be the new Enclave grille... as shown in my signature.

Buick planning up-level LaCrosse
Wait, any news if the non-Super trims will get the newer grille as well? I mean, I'm just hoping the ovoid grille is gone after this year. I would imagine they would as it doesn't fit the newer style grilles.

Enclave coming this fall!!!!
Whoah... first we hear the `08 LaCrosse Super is coming out in `07, now this? COOL I was getting worried we were going to have a dull year! I'm VERY anxious to see production versions of both vehicles.

Acura dealers expect cheaper RL
I agree... you need to be able to pick and choose some options... not to mention, everything else seems to have available V8's, and as nice as you make your 6, it's just not an 8.

That's great and everything, but I am hoping for more changes than just a grille and V8. We'll see.

For Those Who Have Actually Sat in One...
I like that interior SO much more in person than I do in photos. It looks nice.

Is it really going to? Why did I think it was going to happen in 2008?

Thank God more people are saying it... it's relatively a pointless purchase in my opinion.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
A LOT of factors contributed to the poor sales... it had little to do with the product, which, was actually good. Olds was going through a transitional point--much like where Buick is now, and unfortunately (which Buick isn't making the same mistake), they changed their product so radically, it abandoned their faithful customers before it had a new customer base to support it. Combined with some quality issues, and a few other things going on, as well as the declared demise of Olds, and there you have your craptacular sales.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
Side impact and side curtain airbags are standard on all LaCrosse trims for 2006.I agree about offering Nav though.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
Well, I think it'll help make it appealing to a few more. I know though with the addition of the 5.3, reviews will STILL boast the almighty HEMI in Chrysler's cars and call it inferior. Especially if it stays with the 4-speed auto.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
That's just sad. The W-body LaCrosse is going to be around for at least 3 more years.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
Well, the LaCrosse will get a revised grille as we've seen from the LaCrosse Super spyshot pinned at the top of this forum. I definitely want to see a few other changes... just some simple changes will go far. Out with the radio/hvac, in with the new tranny. Out with the plood, and in with the Lucerne's plood. Lower each trim's price by between 1000-1500. Then, I think we're talking.

I agree with most of what you're saying. Regarding the V8, it can't be the Northstar because it was already stated it couldn't fit in the Enclave. It'll have to be another V8.
