I'm a sales rep for a Chev-Bu-Cad dealership. I can't wait to see (& drive) one of these for myself. One of the techs wants one all blacked out to match his '87 GN.

He can't post any pics because the vehicle is registered to his company right now, and they have a confidentiality agreement with GM.

Seems like when we had a Buick R&D vehicle a lot of the 60+ year old ladies were checking us out ... (most of them had these type of sunglasses as well).

Still think the last model year the word "cool" and "Buick" could be used together were the '98 - ??? S/C'd Regal GS's. The LaCross is so targeted for the 50+ crowd.

It would have to go back to the T-type or GNX for me...

Yeah, but think of the fun you can have with a Buick that looks like it's driven by a 50+ year old, but isn't.... edit: the thumbnail looks all blue-ish but the pic itself is okay

one of the best buicks since the gnx/gn was the riviera 96-99. v6 supercharged. for under a grand it can run 13's which is damn impressive for a car that size and had soo many options that arent even standards on good car today
