GM spent the money and it looks great. Why not?

China's LaCrosse Super has the style they have described.

That has a much nicer look than the U.S version.

But that looks nothing like this:

And the Chinese version is one ugly ducking with that standup ornament. Lose it then it's fine.

If the Chinese LaCrosse came over as the LaCrosse Super I'd never be able to defend it against its dull exterior design for a SUPER. The LaCrosse Super better DAMN well be more aggressive than the Maxima/Five-hundred that vehicle is trying to pull off.

The LaCrosse Super needs to have a styling that is more unique than the LaCrosse in both America and in China. We are talking about a $35,000 vehicle here and I do NOT want Buick to go the way of Hyundai where the emulate other vehicle styles to get their sales up. It might be possible to make some half assed claim that the current LaCrosse is totally styled after Lexus because of the lights or something, but it's definitely it's own vehicle, albeit conservatively styled and lacking the proper excitement that hopefully the Super will instill.

The reviews on the Chinese LaCrosse, if it were sold in America would be a merciless mocking of lack of innovation in style. It's not just conservative in its styling it's also a copy-cat of other vehicles.

The only thing that is definitely outstanding about the Chinese LaCrosse is the interior which does supercede the American LaCrosse.

At least give it angrier headlights. The Lucerne looks too tame.
