Well, that'd be a smart place to launch it...
-
Bump. Any news on this? It's been 6 months and we've seen a new LaCrosse, and have a new Regal and Enclave coming out in less than a year.
-
Well, I can only hope something else is in the pipelines for the Enclave... I'm assuming the new one will shed a few hundred pounds, and the new 3.6L is a tiny bit more powerful and will have a 9-speed... all that will help, but I'm thinking not enough for everyone. Whatever happened to the "Avenir" trim/sub brand? I thought we were going to start seeing that.
-
I'm very anxious to see the final product. Enclaves are huge on Long Island... you see them everywhere. My friend at my last job had one--a 2014 I believe... her only gripe was that she wished it had a little more power. She otherwise loved it.
-
The Regal is supposed to be MY2018, right?
-
This I like a lot. The problem with the last Regal (and I'm assuming this one will have it as well) is that the roofline is very low... and being 6'3", getting in and out is a daunting chore to not crack your head on the door frame. I even had that problem with my last LaCrosse, although it wasn't too bad. Once you got into the car, you had plenty of headroom, it was just ducking to get in and out of the Regal that I wouldn't have appreciated (that, along with the (in my opinion) underpowered base 2.4L being standard when I was shopping).
-
I'm not sure what their strategy is to bring in the buyers. I'm not a huge fan of the look of this... it definitely looks more muscular... have to hear the specs and see the interior and options.
-
When does the new Regal show its face, NYIAS?
-
So with the new FWD 9-speed coming out, would you think they'd throw it in vehicles like the LaCrosse and Impala? Or no, because they just came out with the new LaCrosse and don't want to change the mechanics yet?

Paolino replied to William Maley's post in a topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I am NOT a fan of the interior by any means. I like the exterior until you get to that horrendous spindle grille. 28-way power seats? At this point as much as I love the sound of a V8, I just don't think it's necessary.

It's a beautiful car... wish they'd make the LaCrosse have an option for a cloud-like ride I looked up the S90... it has the option of a heated windshield. This is something I've wished would be available in many cars, although I imagine it's quite expensive to replace if you had to.
-
I love the LaCrosse. Literally the only changes I'd like to see to the interior are a slightly larger screen, and a slightly nicer steering wheel... perhaps a little more brightwork, less black plastic. I haven't heard the standard 8-speaker audio in the LaCrosse, but if it's anything like the standard 7-speaker from the previous generation, I'd like a better base stereo... that thing was WEAK.
-
Disagree. To me, in 2016, "Super" just sounds absurd. Sometimes you can't go with historical monikers... they just don't work. I would have rather they took the word "Essence" off their useless LaCrosse Essence trim level and used that to denote a higher level of luxury.
-
This is giving me a Honda Accord Crosstour feeling... and that's not a good thing...
-
Well, Encore and Enclave are French words... as is Avenir... although the meaning behind it isn't really working for me. I think they should have hired a known designer and had the next version of Joseph Abboud...
-
Interesting... another posted a Fusion review this week and it was a polar-opposite reaction. Thanks for the review, though.
-
I thought so at first, and then I was talking to Drew and it is more-likely the option to just put on the heated seatbacks, not cooled seats.
-
Interesting... it seems as though the 2nd row seats get heated as an option. This pic is on the Chevrolet website.
-
BEAUTIFUL... a winner for sure. Package and price it right, and it'll be a knockout.
-
Yes, but the rest of the world thinks of this as a much larger recall.
