  1. Here’s the dimension number that stood out to me:
    The height dropped from 59.2 inches on the last generation to 57.5 inches. Which is a good thing since some of these Sedans are so tall and bulky looking. This will help give it an appearance of a stronger stance.

    1. But at the expense of headroom, most likely more so in the second row.

      1. Who says? Most modern vehicles are more efficiently packaged.

      2. The difference is a loss of .4″ in front, and .2″ in the rear, not a big deal.

  2. Not going to fit much junk in that trunk. What happened?

    1. That’s that.

  3. Unfortunately, the AWD configuration details are still a mystery. It uses the same rear-biasable system that the Focus RS will have, but no word on how it will be calibrated.

    Seeing as only the FWD model gets HiPer Strut, I suspect Buick is waiting to see if there’s room for a GS variant with a rear-bias… which was what Avenir was supposed to do anyways… and why it was so popular at unveiling.

  4. Trunk still too small.

    I wonder why there are no 19″ wheels to bridge the gap between 18″ and 20″?

  5. The 2015 Buick LaCrosse Premium had a curb weight of 3,895 lbs (according to Autoweek) and if reports are accurate that the 2017 Buick LaCrosse is 300 lbs lighter, the 2017 Buick LaCrosse should have a curb weight of about 3,595 lbs; this means it could be possible to feature the 265-275 LTG Turbocharged 2.0L 4-cyl as an entry engine. Zero to sixty acceleration time for the 2017 Buick LaCrosse should be about 5.5 seconds or very similar to that of the 2015 Cadillac CTS V6.

  6. The engine is a 3.6 liter V6. No other option is available.

  7. GM better not cheat us.
    The AWD option should be available in North America as an alternative to people who don’t need the Enclave or Envision but need a vehicle for inclement weather conditions.
