Introduction
The 2010 Buick LaCrosse is a midsize sedan, joining the Lucerne full-size sedan and Enclave crossover utility in the brand's three-model lineup. The LaCrosse was first introduced for the 2005 model year, when it replaced both the Century and Regal in Buick's lineup. It was refreshed for 2008, when a LaCrosse Super model, featuring a 300-hp V-8 engine and unique exterior styling, joined the lineup.

For 2010, the redesigned second-generation Buick LaCrosse features a new look (modeled after Buick's modern global design theme), updated powertrains, available all-wheel drive (AWD), and new technology features in an attempt to appeal to a younger, more tech-savvy audience. The redesigned 2010 Buick LaCrosse will be built at GM's Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas City, Kan., beginning in the summer of 2009.
