Last year we tested a top-of-the-line Buick LaCrosse, and this year we went in the opposite direction with the bottom-rung four-cylinder CX. This model doesn’t have the thrills you might expect from a premium sedan, but Cars.com senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder did notice that the LaCrosse base model with cloth seats is actually more comfortable to sit in than the leather-clad models. The LaCrosse will be the flagship of the lineup when the Buick Lucerne is discontinued later next year. Does the LaCrosse have the chops to be the standard-bearer of a brand that’s trying to bring itself up in the world? Watch the video to find out more.
