Buick is getting ready to unveil its 2017 LaCrosse at the upcoming 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show this November, meaning that we’ll get to feast our eyes on Buick’s all-new full-size sedan in less than a month. But before we get the official scoop on the third generation of Buick’s largest sedan (at least for now), we wanted to ask you what you wanted to see from the vehicle.
Talk to us in the comments section below on the things you are hoping for from the 2017 LaCrosse.

3 words: Big, beautiful, and comfortable.
With the Cadillac XTS on the way out, the upcoming Buick Lacrosse should be the largest, most comfortable car outside of a Cadillac or possible Avenir. When it comes to Buicks, high performance is the last on my mind. It's all about personal comfort or "old school luxury".
The spied cars under the camo reveal a ho-hum boring shape. --Sure would like to see something innovative, fresh, and aesthetically pleasing. Maybe when the camo comes off, the new style will surprise. The blinkers under the camo looked teeny tiny and hardly there. Hope the seats are comfortable. Most newer cars have a "thin sheet of foam over a hard piece of plywood feel," in the name of "sportiness." If you're going to continue to have the name of Buick mean smooth ride, affordable luxury, and classy style and continue to appeal to boomers, add a sumptuous comfortable seat, akin to what Park Avenues used to have. I for one would opt for a high quality velvet seat than some cheap leather touches. Miss the comfort and head roominess and leg roominess and appointments of Buicks of years past.
To change the focus of this discussion: 1. Buick as well as well as GM in general need to eliminate the over abundance of black cloth and leather seats. Other seat colors are lacking in lighter colors. 2. Any vehicle that has a heated seats should have a heated steering wheel. The GMC Terrain high end Denali does not have a heated steering wheel. 3. AWD should have a off and on control feature. 4. Please stop pushing stop & go technology to save gasoline. To mitigate this technology at least have an off/on option control. 5. The lowering of spoiler air dams seems to be the trend in favor of aerodynamics. The engineers apparently have no experience driving through snow and frozen rutts, or near high curbs and concrete parking stops.
I'd like to see GM ditch all these front wheel drive platforms-well maybe the cheap cars can keep them. I think the mid price and above cars should have rwd standard and awd optional for those that need the extra traction for slippery road conditions. I'm not saying that fwd cars can't be good, it's just that rwd cars can be better. I live in the AZ mountains, no way in H am I buying a fwd or even an awd car.
After 100,000+ miles in my 2012 Lacrosse Prem I, I still like the car. Reviewing comments in regard to what would I like to see in this new 2017?
1. Better visibility/less pillar blind spots all the way around
2. Improved head rest comfort. I'm not sure if they are too tall, too far forward or what, but I find them in the way.
P.S. When can I have more knee room! 6'1
Hopefully they shave a few inches off the top of the bulbous front end.
I have owned four Cadillacs and am ready for another car, but am very upset that Cadillac has gotten away from its roots as a large, plush car. Instead, they decided to become a BMW or Audi impersonator. If that is the kind of car you want, Cadillac is doing a fairly good job of hitting that mark and you should give them a look. But after twenty years as a Cadillac owner, I am looking at Hyundai Genesis, Mercedes E350, Lexus ES350 and now the 2017 Buick LaCrosse. As the current owner of three US-made GM cars, I really hope that Buick is turning out a large, quiet, plush car that I can be happy about owning as a successor to my Cadillac DTS. lf the Buick LaCrosse ends up being another luxury sports sedan with a firm, sporty ride and sports car seats, I am going to have to look overseas, something I truly hate to do. I just wish Cadillac hadn't decided to turn its back on its clientele. I did not have a problem with Cadillac adding some sporty cars like the CTS, but they could at least keep a decent, large plush sedan. I know some folks would say to look at the CT6, but even that is simply a BMW 700 series clone, not a quiet, plush car like its Deville ancestry.
