The 3.2 JTS version of the HFV6 Holden builds for Alfa Romeo is similar, with only slightly lower specific hp.

The HFV6 in the base Commodore is de-contented and lower-powered. While the LaCrosse gets a 240 hp version with dual-VVT, the Commodore gets a 230 hp version with only inlet VVT to save money, as did all V6 engines with VVT before the LY7 (Toyota and then Mercedes followed with Dual-VVT shortly afterward). It's possible the cheaper 3.6 does not meet US emissions regulations, which are far stricter than Australia's.

Danke Schein Which is wrong it should be Danke schön—thanks beautifully—schein means "light" (think shine). German schöne (beautiful), is equivalent to English sheen. The words are closely related to schein/shine, the sense being of "radiant" beauty. The "radiant", "bright" and "shining" senses now dominate in English, as the connection with shine is more apparent, leading to the more common noun.

Cadillac does have a long tradition of numerical car names, just not the one they're using now. For that matter most of the older car manufacturers started out with alpha/numerical model designations, with few exceptions gradually introducing model names after WWII. Some Chevrolets had numbers into the '50s, Cadillacs into the '70s. Citroen flirted with model names before going back to letter codes, Fiat is going back to numbers but in written form (600, 16 etc.).

You make my case for me, making it clear that you wouldn't pay what is required even for this much nicer Chinese LaCrosse. Clearly you don't want a Buick that deserves to cost more than the current cheap LaCrosse, so you can't complain if that's all you get.

The stand up hood ornament is only on the V6 Flagship grade.

Because you cheap-ass Americans won't pay for it and GM knows it. Every time they make a major upgrade with a price even close to what Toyota or Nissan charges you howl and complain they're it's $8K too much. You can't have it both ways. Be realistic This LaCrosse, with a base 3.5 L V6 instead of the 2.4, would probably need to cost over $30K in the US, and how many of you would really be willing to pay that much? Dealers would have conniptions without a cheaper model (perhaps a smaller 4-cylinder like the BLS) as well.

For a 2.4 L 4-cylinder with slightly more torque than the G6 that's a lot of money. I think Buick dealers would blanche if their cheapest model was over $29K and a lot of buyers would still expect a final price nearly $10K lower. Not gonna happen. If GM can get rebates on the LaCrosse low enough, then maybe the Global Midsize version will be equipped more like the Chinese model.

This is why: that's crazy expensive.

Other than the new engines, it's similar to the American LaCrosse under the skin. Limited specs available, but the new V6 produces more power than the old 3100, overall length is just under 5m, a little less than the US model. Width and height are a few mm different. Seems to have a better presence than some of the photos show. Despite the aluminum 2.4, the base model is heavier than the 3.8 L Lacrosse CX, probably due to very high equipment levels.

For most of these cars 200 hp or more is available, it's just a matter of being manageable with that much.

But this is Geneva, so you have to include the 148 hp 2.0 L Fiesta, a 178 hp 1.6 L turbocharged Corsa, the 175 hp 1.5 L turbo Brabus smart forfour, the 175 hp 2.0 L 206, a 167 hp 2.0 L RenaultSport Clio, the 178 hp 1.8 L Turbo Seat Ibiza or the 158 hp 1.9 L turbodiesel Ibiza.

More light-heartedly, From Bald's Leechbook (c900): In case a man ache in the head: take the lower part of crosswort, put it on a red fillet; let him bind the head with it. For the same: take mustard seed and rue, rub into oil, put into hot water; wash the head frequently with that water; he will be healthy. For an old headache, take penny royal, boil in oil or butter; with that smear the temples and over the eyes and on top of the head; even though his mind be turned, he will be healthy. For a very old headache, take salt and rue and branches of ivy berries; pound all together, put into honey, and with it smear the temples and the forehead and the top of the head. For the same: look for little stones in the stomach of swallow chicks; take care that they do not touch earth or water or other stones; sew up three of them them in whatever you wish; put them on the man who is in need; he will soon be well; they are good for the headache and for eye pain and for the Devil's temptations and goblins, and typhus, and incubus (a type of nightmare) and herbal seizure and bewitching and evil enchantments; it must be big chicks in which you find them. If a man ache on one side of his head, thoroughly pound rue, put it into strong vinegar, and with that let the head be smeared right on top. For the same: dig up plantain, without iron, before the rising of the sun; bind the roots around his head with a moist red fillet; he will soon be well. Against a woman's chatter: eat a radish at night, while fasting; that day the chatter cannot harm you.

Migraines are a chronic condition, but if this is the first time it's occured you should see a doctor. The symptoms you describe could be caused by something more, ahhh, terminal.

I think they could sell a nice number of them. Depending on the no. of seats and the size it could match up well against the 3-series coupe, TT or Cayman.
