The
Buick LaCrosse may not be a real player in the midsize car market, but
GM is looking to make big-time improvements for the 2010 model year. The
next-gen LaCrosse shares its
Epsilon II
(the
Malibu is an extended Epsilon, not Epsilon II) underpinnings with the critically acclaimed
Chevy Malibu, and judging from
spy shots from Brenda Priddy & So., the interior will be very similar as well. Close inspection of the pics shows some similar dash characteristics between the two models, though the 'Bu is all about the curves while the
Buick is more strait-laced. The two models also appear to share gauge clusters and housing. Seats in the preproduction
LaCrosse are two-toned much like that of the up-level Malibu, but the two appear to have a different basic shape.
If GM manages to take the well-received Malibu and injects it with a healthy dose of up-level materials and cool technology, Buick could very well have a nice compliment to the hot-selling
Enclave. Click on the link below to view a larger pic of the LaCrosse interior.
