As part of its restructuring, General Motors executives decided to save Buick, kill Pontiac and Saturn. I remain unconvinced that this was the right decision, but I have to admit that the 2010 LaCrosse makes a very strong case that there is life left in Buick.

From "M" The Civilized Man August 1987 I meet my first Straight Arrow in Chicago. We were working on the same 'account' team and he was running it. Not that he'd ever point that out. He was everything on that list up there - - even the Buick. Always a Buick. And he came from more money than God. I never heard him utter a bad word about anyone except a co-worker who tried to steal an account...

Details of the updated 2010 Lexus ES sedan have been revealed. When discussing the Lexus ES sedan, the conversation invariably moves to the Buick’s newLaCrosse and the Lincoln MKZ. It’s not surprising since for several years now, it has been the benchmark for mid-level luxury value.
