The Buick LaCrosse Spanning 14 model years in North America, Buick’s flagship sedan has competed with cars like chrysler 300, Toyota Avalon, Lincoln MKZAnd Hyundai Genesis. There was even a happy LaCrossealthough GM has abandoned LaCrosse here after 2019, perhaps because the core demo of Buick in the US is older and also because of Buick’s existence in the US as a sort of near-luxury brand these days. more difficult to understand.
In case you lost it:
Buick was once part of a string of GM brands, with Cadillac at the top and Buick not far behind, followed by Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Chevy. But in our current automotive age, automakers have largely simplified it all, with one regular car brand and one single luxury brand, for those that still produce. Export regular and non-luxury cars by default. There’s Chevy and Cadillac, but there’s also Ford and Lincoln; Toyota and Lexus; Honda and Acura; Nissan and Infiniti; Hyundai and Genesis; Chrysler and Chrysler; maybe Volvo and Polestar. Mazda I’ve never done a full luxury share but think again. Germans have always been luxuries, at least to Americans, like British cars like Jaguars, Aston Martins and Land Rovers, because Americans are so shallow. The Italians have a bit of a special case, as Alfa Romeo pretends to be luxurious, but so does Maserati, and both are owned by Stellantis.
Anyway, for decades in America, if you buy a Buick it means that you are not specifically aiming for luxury, but respectable luxury and of the luxury category, a category that doesn’t really exist in the US anymore, because nowadays Buick only sells unbelievably boring SUVs in the US.
In China, Buick is still a luxury and still a best seller, based on the persistent appeal of a foreign brand that on the surface doesn’t make much of a sense, though if you want to get to know more about it. If this happens, ask one of your friends who just bought an Alfa. China is also having a new generation LaCrosse, it was announced on Thursdaylooks like it’s the fourth generation LaCrosse, since the third is the last one we see here and came out in 2015. Or maybe it’s something else entirely.

Buick says it has sold 10 million cars in China since entering the market 25 years ago, and those numbers aren’t too bad as Buick sold more than 103,000 cars last year in China. USA.S., according to GoodCarBadCar. America doesn’t have a fourth-generation LaCrosse because we probably wouldn’t buy it, even less than a Buick SUV. However, I hope LaCrosse will last forever abroad.
