Buick LaCrosse Parts & Accessories

Buick has been undergoing a reinvention of sorts, launching new models designed to reinvigorate its image and broaden its fan base. The Buick LaCrosse is one example of this strategy. Its name relates to the exciting sport of lacrosse, which is similar to hockey but played on a field. Though the sedan is a bit more dynamic than its predecessors, it still holds firm to the Buick qualities of a relatively cushy interior and a smooth, quiet ride. The current Buick LaCrosse is a midsize sedan that debuted in 2005. It's front-wheel drive and V6-powered, and can seat up to six passengers. Buick's sedan comes in three trim levels: CX, CXS and CXL. CX buyers get goodies like a six-speaker CD player and OnStar. CXL buyers are treated to a somewhat plusher driving experience, thanks to the addition of features like leather upholstery, automatic climate control and more luxury-themed exterior trim. The top-of-the-line LaCrosse CXL sweetens the pot with a more muscular V6, larger alloy wheels and a suspension that emphasizes sporting performance. Buicks have long been a favorite of older drivers, and that demographic will no doubt be especially appreciative of the LaCrosse's senior-friendly optional rear parking assist. CX and CXL models are powered by a 200-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine. The CXS gets more zoom thanks to a 3.6-liter DOHC V6 that rustles up 240 horses. All models offer a standard four-speed automatic transmission.
