The LaCrosse rides smoothly and quietly, but its steering is much more precise than previous models and it turns into corners crisply with little body lean.

 Review - BUICK LACROSSE
Buick seems to have been focusing all of its recent energy on moving into new segments; first the Rendezvous crossover, then the Rainer SUV, and next the Terraza minivan.
Traditional Buick cues like the oval grille, rising flank and C-shaped window line are evident, but the four-light front end appears to owe some inspiration to Lexus and Jaguar as well.
With an eye towards comfort, the LaCrosse's fully independent suspension is stiffer, to keep up with the times, but it also uses longer rebound dampers than the outgoing Regal and has a special aluminum engine cradle that reduces noise.

The LaCrosse's curvy styling and spoked wheels might have turned heads five years ago, but today that look is merely middle-of-the-pack.
