Reviews SummaryWithin the General Motors hierarchy of brands, Buick has always served as a bridge between less-expensive Chevrolets and more-expensive Cadillacs. From time to time throughout its long history, Buick has built youthful cars, it has built performance cars, and it has built world-class cars. The image that sticks, however, is based on the chrome-encrusted barges Buick peddled for decades to older and wealthier people who did not or would not buy a Caddy. Times are changing, though, and the redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a perfect example illustrating the company’s metamorphosis. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s been 25 years since Buick last offered a convertible—the oft-forgotten Reatta, which curiously offered a CRT touchscreen display just a couple scant decades ahead of the curve back in 1990. But with the Cascada, it’s more about looking backward than forward, as it offers a classic cruising experience with too little forward thinking to truly impress. | |
