THE
CAR: BUICK 2017 Lacrosse Premium FWD
Just
because the 2017 Lacrosse Premium FWD has a great personality doesn’t mean it’s
not attractive. It is. It not only looks good on the outside, it looks good on
the inside. The panel is user friendly. The speakers are bumping. There is lots
of legroom, which, for me, at 5’10”, makes it a winner and my new best friend.
Whether you’re the snooty type with your nose up in the air, or the more
grounded type, this car can go both ways. It’s elegant, but it’s also not
afraid to get down and dirty. The car, which has a dramatic road presence, features a new
grille design with a sizeable opening characterized by the return of a
three-color (red, silver and blue) Buick tri-shield insignia, accented by
wing-shaped elements set against darkened waterfall grille bars inspired by the
1954 Wildcat II concept. The model I drove had a white frost tricoat exterior and a LT
neutral/dark brown accent interior. That, coupled with a smooth, comfortable and
quiet ride, makes the 2017 Lacrosse Premium FWD a winner!
