West Herr Auto, a Buffalo Buick dealer, is excited to promote the new 2011 Buick LaCrosse.  The LaCrosse is a sleek and stylish luxury sedan that uses the best of modern technology to deliver the ultimate driving experience.

The engine is a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder that gets 182 horsepower.  It can be upgraded to a 3.6-liter V-6, which rockets the power up to 280 horsepower.  The 4-cylinder model has a fuel efficiency rating of 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

As of now, the 2011 Buick LaCrosse hasn’t been officially crash tested by the government or the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety.  However, very little has changed from its 2010 model, which received the IIHS’s much-coveted Top Safety Pick award.  Every trim comes with front, side and overhead airbags, with rear side airbags as an option.  All LaCrosse purchases come with a one-year subscription to GM’s OnStar service, which is built into the control panel.  A rearview camera is available that not only shows what’s behind the car, but also draws the predicted path the car will take using high-tech sensor technology.

Features Sure To Impress Buffalo Buick Shoppers

The 2011 Buick LaCrosse is already making waves for having all the trappings of a high-end luxury sports car, without the luxury price tag.  The MSRP starts at only $26,995.  The LaCrosse’s exterior is artfully sculpted for aesthetic quality as well as aerodynamic efficiency.  The interior is where the LaCrosse really shines.  The rear seats have just as much legroom as the front seats.  All seats have carefully crafted ergonomic back support and soft leather normally only found in Cadillacs.  The interior lights are an opaque blue that provides just enough to see around the cabin without distracting the driver.  As for engine noise, the cabin is completely silent, even at high speeds.  As the Los Angeles Times put it, the comfort of the LaCrosse’s interior “blows Lexus out of the sky.  Pow.  Parachute.  Smoking crater.”

The LaCrosse also comes equipped with blind spot alerts, which notifies the Buffalo Buick driver if a vehicle is in her or her blind spot.  It utilizes Stabilitrak electronic stability control, a system proven so effective that it is required to receive the highest IIHS safety rating.  4-wheel antilock brakes are standard on all trims as well.

Consumers Digest rates Buick LaCrosse a Best Buy for Buffalo drivers, according to West Herr Buick.

To choose the Buick LaCrosse as a Best Buys of 2010 for Buffalo drivers, Consumers Digest took into account many factors including design; styling, interior ergonomics, seating, accessories and amenities, cargo space, and fit and finish. Performance characteristics considered were: starting and acceleration, shifting/transmission, steering and handling, braking, ride quality and fuel economy.

Each vehicle was driven under a range of circumstances and conditions, and they tried to drive these vehicles in the manner for which they are built, according to the standards of an ordinary buyer. Although many buyers now cross-shop various types of vehicles, particularly SUVs, minivans and sedans, Consumer Digest believe that it’s important to compare each vehicle with others in its general size and price class.

What’s more, in determining the top picks each year, they consider a range of additional variables: warranties, repair histories (as available), dealer reputation, estimated repair/maintenance costs, annual operating expenses, insurance-industry ratings, crash-test results, corporate service and manufacturing reputations, and estimated resale values.

In the process, they draw on information from sources, such as National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Naturally, but give the most weight to their own evaluations, but it was the combination of all these analyses—in-house testing, purchase and ownership costs, and the findings of independent sources—that finally leads to the short list of Best Buys.
