  1. I honestly don't think they will. Sheeple will come. There's a crooked "L" on it.
  2. I like it. And that steering wheel reminds me of the steering wheel from the 1997-2005 Impala.
  3. working for me? I still can't seem to get to the forums page. I'm only able to get to this thread because it's on the homepage as "recent topics".
  4. I can't seem to get to the forums. I click it. It reloads the homepage.
  5. Thank GOD the current taillights will be changed.
  6. Mon Dieu! I'm barely excited about this as a Buick...
  7. Maybe they meant it was revolutionary technology to the 2013 GS, as in it never existed on a 2013 GS before-- or maybe it's revolutionary to Lexus' audience, the blue-haired crowd, because they forgot it existed elsewhere...
  8. I believe this is the big problem. Newer LaCrosses with V6s don't seem to be depreciating as quickly as their predecessors. 4-Cylinder models do however.
  9. Like it... can't wait to see it in daylight.
  10. That's kind of a low blow and not relevant to the topic at hand. Well you're not buying an S-Class, a 7-series, or an XTS anytime soon are you? There is a predilection on C&G to pre-judge cars and to declare anything that doesn't fit the person's definition of "a good car" as a crap car that will never ever sell. SMK and you have both been proven wrong by the SRX and Lacrosse. GM clearly has a better read on the market than you two do. As I've told SMK in the past I will tell you too. You cannot judge the future success of the XTS on the efforts of it's competition. It's laughable how many believe a great majority of consumers shop for cars by overall length or which wheels drive. I can guarantee ALL BUT TWO of my friends know which wheels drive their cars. They don't know, and they don't care. And one of the two who knows, but doesn't care.
  11. Alas, yes... was hoping to snatch one up dirt cheap, but unlike the last gen LaX, this one is retaining its value rather well.
  12. I honestly thought that'd be the way they'd go, 2.5L base, 2.0L turbos in two flavors with an eAssist option to the 2.5.

    Thanks guys! I got treated pretty nicely at work. Probably at a Buick dealer I can't decide Regal or LaCrosse. I'll have to flip for it this summer. Grazie!

    Haha, thanks ocn I am ready for it and for fuel savings. My current ride rapes me. On another note, my sis-in-law's Impala with the 3500 returned a very high number for her average fuel economy... pretty crazy. 38.8mpg for the tank average (it wasn't completely empty yet, still another quarter tank to go)
  15. A heavy refresh is fine. They still have life in them.
  16. Okay, so wait, these are the refreshes? The replacements are due when? Honestly, redo the center stack, tweak the exterior and update the powertrain with the latest 3.6L and you're golden for another 2 model years at least.
  17. The naming scheme has been a disaster since the day they introduced it and the guy himself mispronounced the product, not sure if it should be "Mark Z" or "M-K-Z".

    Done. Gary, thank you for your hard work. This is my home away from home... my outlet after work. I appreciate you helping out and keeping it running smoothly for us!

    Happy Birthday!
  20. It's nice, but not making me say "wow". The plood is great... and the interior colors are nice. A little confused as to why rainsense is available on this but not on any of the current sedans.
  21. Well, I have my eyes set on the LaCrosse but I know I'd be quite happy with a Verano (and it'd definitely fit nicer in my parking spot at work since I'm squeezed between two SUVs)
  22. Nope, I like sedans.
