nelsonlu Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 http://www.leftlanenews.com/buick-lacrosse-invicta.html It looks a lot like the Fusion, both the front and the rear (but not the side). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixt9coug Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Well, it looks like its gonna be what the Internet fans have been talking about. A Chinese market Buick for the States. So far it looks pretty good. Im hopeful for it although yeah, that is a large mass pf buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Star Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I like it. Looks even better than Lucerne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Looks like the Camaro interior oddly enough. That's what I've thought too since I first saw it. The dash shape and having the wood strip where it is are the biggest culprits causing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The instrument panel of the lucern and the new camaro remind me of a sony or jvc bookshelf stereo controls. I tried finding a picture of it but if you see one in the store youll know what im talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8-X Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) The gauge cluster looks like it has a pancake on top of it. Not sure about pancakes, but that gauge cluster does not flow with the rest of the dash. IMHO, that entire dash looks crappy. Hate the droopy dash look, gauge cluster, and the center stack buttons, holly buttons. I thought the Fords looked over-done with buttons. At least the Fords look to be grouped and organized well. This looks simply like a glob of buttons. And they have exposed Buick badges, but tape over the steering wheel badge, why?

Maybe it's just me but the first time I saw the pic of the interior, I thought of that pic of the bunny with the pancakes on his head. Maybe therapy is the answer....

And they have exposed Buick badges, but tape over the steering wheel badge, why? I highly agree with your comments about the dash. Ford has done the same thing in the Taurus spy shots - exposed Ford emblems outside, but a covered steering wheel badge, but I suppose you could still ask why?

Roadrunner Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) It looks like Buick is turning Japanese, it's turning Japanese, I really think so... (cue solo) Seriously, this doesn't look like a GM car. The Malibu looks like a GM car. This, this looks like a Hyundai wannabe, which... doesn't seem right at all. Maybe a Toyota wannabe, to keep the nationalities in tune. It's better than the current LaCrosse -- that one looked like crap from year 2 -- but I still would say the Lucerne is much better. I just can't see this working well for the Buick nameplate. Pontiac, maybe. Buick? Maybe I've pigeonholed it too much but it just doesn't look "GM" and Buick always screamed "middle of the road GM" to me. How will it drive is the real question, because if its sport tuned, then they might be able to turn Buick around with all the tech gear inside and the exterior. Think like what they tried with the Pontiac Bonneville and Oldsmobile Aurora (albeit the second generation Aurora was a monstrosity).

Roadrunner Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Then again, if they made the nose more blunt like as seen in this older spy shot (link below), then that would improve things much more. http://photos.leftlanenews.com/photos/imag....jpg&w=1024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to link to the page with the story, and then we'll have to go find the right picture. I hate the way LLN is doing their pictures now, the old way was so much easier to use/view.

630land Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Buick is #1 in China, so.... They have to move on from the 80s/90s old timer era. The WWII generation that liked velour and vinyl tops is shrinking or not driving anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
