Not surprising, then, that design input for the 2010 Buick LaCrosse should have been heavily influenced by Asian tastes, and that the overall result looks generically Asiatic: a touch of Hyundai Genesis from the front, Lexus ES350 at the back, Acura TL alongside. Not bad at all, really quite sleek and attractive. Just generic. But when you check into a Marriott hotel suite, say, that's what you want:...

According to Autoblog, GM has been taking their time building LaCrosses, shipping 300-400 or so in August and then stopping for a few weeks to work out bugs.
