2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS Review

In With the New

A three-quarter front view of a 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS

In short: Business class service sedan.

This fresh take on Buick's long-running full-sized sedan features bold exterior styling, a 3.6-liter V6 with direct injection and an available Sport mode for a ride that is fun, responsive and surprisingly un-grandma-like. Will old people still drive the LaCrosse in droves to bingo night? Probably. Can we blame them for it any longer? Definitely not.

Warranty/Service: Five-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty; four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty

For those looking to save money, the Buick LaCrosse is also available in the CX trim level. The CX swaps out the 3.6-liter V6 found in the CXS for an efficient 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that offers improved fuel economy while still providing adequate acceleration. As with the CXS, you can expect to find plenty of standard amenities, including OnStar with automatic crash response and an in-dash personalized driver information center.
