John Goreham Staff Writer 8-6-18 In its latest compilation of great cars, J.D. Power (Hammer) liked the Chevy Malibu and Buick Lacrosse. Both were named to the list of Eight Most Reliable Certified Pre-Owned Cars. Together GM’s two cars made up a quarter of the top eight. In its summary of the LaCrosse, the publication says, “Buick’s full-size LaCrosse sedan has plenty going for it, from a choice between a light-electrified hybrid drivetrain and a powerful V-6 engine to a roomy and comfortable cabin wrapped in upscale sheet metal.” Of the Malibu, the publication says, “In its final year before a complete redesign for 2016, the midsized 2015 Chevy Malibu offered real value along with, apparently, excellent reliability. Pair the torque-rich turbo with the top LTZ trim level and you’ll have a dependable and upscale rocket.” The list of eight was derived from J.D. Power’s dependability data, which comes directly from owners. This list is interesting because it looks at the dependability of 2015 model year cars that might be coming off of 36 or 39-month leases. As a CPO car, the vehicle will have a warranty and will have undergone an inspection.

John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 1-9-2018 Silverado buys are never surprised by huge discounts on the model, but we like to point the deals out when they make news. This month, U.S. News & World Report has named the truck to its list of Best New Car Deals. "The current new-car sales slowdown is great news for consumers," says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "As carmakers ramp up incentives, it's possible to save thousands, even on top-performing models. The Silverado has been a strong seller lately, but has, in fact, had a sales downturn over the past year, despite the uptick after this year’s natural disasters. Chevy is currently offering $6,000 cash back on the Silverado according to U.S. News. Sales of the Buick LaCrosse have not been as rosy for GM. It was down a whopping 51% in December and 30% for the year of 2017. We suspect Buick dealers would love to make room for a quick-selling imported crossover on their lots. U.S. News says Buick is offering a staggering $9,500 cash back, depending on the region. The LaCrosse scored very well in U.S. News’ testing, garnering an overall score of 8.7 out of ten. Image Note: 2018 LaCrosse shown.

We had to look twice to notice it, but the big change is the addition of a new horizontal element running across the top half of the grill. The shape is more upright, like all modern cars. This is most likely due to pedestrian impact standards driving the design. Buick is also adding colors to the new grill insignia. Buick says the new Lacrosse will have a new chassis that is lighter, yet stronger and will also feature a new rear suspension. The body is to be more contoured (sculpted) and inside the emphasis will be on quietness. -
John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 9/22/2015 Playing off the looks of the Avenir concept vehicle, the all-new 2017 Lacrosse from Buick will be the first of the brand's vehicles to have the new grill treatment. For comparison, we have the current Lacrosse in this image: We had to look twice to notice it, but the big change is the addition of a new horizontal element running across the top half of the grill.

Good morning everyone! I'm currently in Cincinnati, Ohio getting ready to drive the entire 2014 Buick line. That includes a significant refresh to the 2014 Regal and 2014 LaCrosse. I'm pretty pumped, because the new refreshed models are seriously nice. From leather wrapped volume knobs in the LaCrosse to an 8-inch LCD screen in the gauge luster in the Regal, these are not your father's Buick. A significant sidebar to all this is that 2014 is the 110th year for Buick. So, starting today at a little after 8am, eastern, check back in and we'll start our day driving the 2014 Buick lineup. Here's a few stock photos to show you the new LaCrosse and Regal to get started. Regal LaCrosse
