2010 Buick LaCrosse teaser image revealed

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse, which is very important for the brand, will be built on the completely new Epsilon II platform suitable to create both front and all-wheel drive cars. Although GM plans to share it among the 2009 Opel Insignia, 2010 Saab 9-5, 2011 Saturn Aura and 2012 Chevy Malibu, the new LaCrosse will be the first to showcase the new architecture.



As you see on this teaser photo, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse will use some styling cues from the successful 2008 Buick Enclave crossover SUV. At least, it sports the same chrome-clad front grille with a huge tri-shield emblem.

If the car is anything close to the recently revealed in Beijing 2008 Buick Invicta concept car, somewhere on the car's hood there are also two sets of portholes. I hope the production model will also retain that classy four-door coupe-like roofline.
