Reviews SummaryWithin the General Motors hierarchy of brands, Buick has always served as a bridge between less-expensive Chevrolets and more-expensive Cadillacs. From time to time throughout its long history, Buick has built youthful cars, it has built performance cars, and it has built world-class cars. The image that sticks, however, is based on the chrome-encrusted barges Buick peddled for decades to older and wealthier people who did not or would not buy a Caddy. Times are changing, though, and the redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a perfect example illustrating the company’s metamorphosis. | |
