"Everyone applauded the new LaCrosse at its unveiling \u2014 for good reason. The economy and car market is down, but GM is on a roll, putting out cars we&amp;#039;re looking forward to driving. The new Buick LaCrosse is a great example. Think Saturn Astra and Chevrolet Malibu and you won&amp;#039;t be far off the mark. However, this Buick is unique in that it will be the first truly global production car from GM. While the exterior styling and powertrain engineering were done in North America, the platform/chassis architecture comes from Europe and the interior from China. The result is a Buick like we&amp;#039;ve never seen before. It features laminated glass, triple door seals, liquid-applied sound-deadening material, an 8-in. touch-screen navigation system, head-up display, blind-spot detection, a rearview camera, trailer stability control, real-time suspension damping and a Harman Kardon audio system. Under the hood is GM&amp;#039;s new 3.0-liter direct-injected V-6, which should offer fuel economy close to 18/27 mpg while making 260 bhp. An optional 3.6-liter direct-injected V-6 making 280 bhp will be available on the CXS model, although it will sacrifice 1 mpg over the smaller engine. All-wheel drive will be optional, using a Haldex center differential and an electronically controlled limited-slip diff at the rear. Three driver-selectable modes will alter suspension damping, throttle response, steering and awd calibration. The 2010 LaCrosse hits dealers this summer. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
