This mid-size sedan emerged in 2005 as the replacement for the Century and Regal in Buick's line. For 2006, LaCrosse gains more standard safety features such as curtain-style side air bags plus an anti-lock brake system (ABS). Buick laces LaCrosse's cabin with bright touches of chrome and brush aluminum, accents in burl wood and a generous supply of soft-touch material covering dash and doors.

There are seats for five or six. The six-seat version sets a bench for three in front of the three-place back bench, while a five-seat arrangement applies twin front buckets divided by a console with padded armrest.

Two trims -- LaCrosse CX and elegant CXL -- pull power from a 3.8-liter V6 rated at 200 hp, while LaCrosse CXS stocks an aluminum 3.6-liter V6 spiked to 240 hp. GM's StabiliTrak, URPA and a remote starter device are options.
