Last summer, when Buick first brought us a new LaCrosse to drive, we sampled a similar CXS to this one. However, a few important differences actually make me this particular CXS seem like a better deal. First, the price. This CXS lists for $35,760, a good $3500 less than the previous example we tested. The options missing on this model include include the Touring package ($800, which includes 19-inch wheels and a sport mode), head-up display ($350), sunroof ($995), and xenon headlights ($695), among a few others. Were I to purchase this car, I'd likely opt for the xenon headlights and perhaps the head-up display, but would take a pass on the Touring pack and the sunroof. With the smaller wheels, the car seems to ride slightly better (although, I have to admit that the nineteen-inchers are more attractive than the chrome-plated eighteens).inline_mediumwraptextright26517014/reviews/editors_notebook/1001_2010_buick_lacrosse_cxs1001_04_z+2010_buick_laCrosse_cXS+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
