Buick LaCrosse (GMX353). 2010 to date (prod. unknown). 4-door sedan. F/F, 2994, 3564 cm³ (V6 DOHC). LaCrosse unified as a single model again, with American and Chinese designers working together on styling, and GM Europe on engineering. Moved to Epsilon II platform shared with Cadillac CTS (2008–). Styling has silhouette not unlike that of Opel Insignia; ‘sweep-spear’ feature on side sees waistline dip and rise suddenly forward of the rear door handle. Portholes on hood. The 1973 Riviera cited as one inspiration; Invicta show car clearly the other. Nothing that novel under the svelte skin, but tipped to be a staple seller for Buick on both sides of the Pacific.
