Car and Driver has a new LaCrosse writeup.

 

Looks like the perfect Barcalounger!  That's ok, I don't mind...

I finished the first sentence & just KNEW the rest was utter drivel. The VERY next thing I did was type this.

 

At times it feels like we haven't seen a single new auto journalist in like 25 years.

I'm so tired of reading the same GM hyperbole lines every time a new car is released. The Buick Lacrosse has been better than the Lexus ES since it came out in 2010 and reviews back that up. It's always been quieter, better looking inside and out, and it drives better.

 

Cadillac has been building compelling RWD cars for 10 years now, but every frickin' release including the CT6 comes with "finally competitive" or "no more excuses" lines.

 

Every Chevy review doesn't need to point out how surprising the interior is when they've been building nice cars to sit in since the 2008 Malibu. The '14 Cruze 2LT I had as a rental had the best economy car interior I'd ever been in.

 

Anyway, I digress. I knew the Lacrosse was going to be a great car with the new powertrain and 300 lbs shed from the updated, longer wheelbase chassis.

I've read two articles about the new LaX and they've called it things like "the segment leader" and have raved endlessly about it.
