DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Buick LaCrosse reviews for the new 2012 model with eAssist indicate MI Auto Times is not the only one noticing the LaCrosse this year as many other industry analysts, writers and organizations are giving the LaCrosse the recognition this amply equipped luxury vehicle deserves:
- U.S. News & Rankings named the 2012 Buick LaCrosse No. 1 in affordable large cars
- Consumers Digest and Consumer Guide Automotive both named the LaCrosse a Best Buy
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program gave the Buick LaCrosse a 5-star safety rating for both overall frontal crash and overall side crash tests
- The Detroit News has selected the Buick LaCrosse as Car of the Year
- And now MI Auto Times has chosen the 2012 Buick LaCrosse as our Luxury Car of the Year
“The Lacrosse is Buick's flagship of this premium brand,” said Jim Bechtell, Dealer Principal at Somerset Buick GMC. “This car is luxurious, quiet and has so many standard options at a price point that has made it a sales volume leader. The Lacrosse is a top volume vehicle for us at Somerset Buick GMC.”
It’s clear from Buick LaCrosse reviews and in-person test drives the Buick LaCrosse is an innovative and industry-changing vehicle because of its beautiful design, spacious interior and eAssist mild hybrid system. This fuel-saving technology earns 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, a significant achievement for a large luxury sedan.
This combination of luxury and fuel economy means having eAssist is not only a win-win situation, but one that will pay luxury car buyers handsomely down the road in terms of return on investment.
The money consumers would need to spend on other full-hybrid luxury vehicles and the time it would take consumers to earn back the initial investment pales in comparison to what the Buick LaCrosse with eAssist provides from day one.
