The Buick LaCrosse is a large/mid-size luxury car manufactured and marketed by Buick since 2004. The LaCrosse is now in its third generation, slotted above the Buick Regal as the brand's flagship. The first generation LaCrosse replaced the Century and Regal in North America beginning in the 2005 model year, serving as the brand's mid-size car. For 2010, however, the LaCrosse was completely redesigned and moved upmarket as a large premium sedan. Critics have lauded the post-2010 versions for its design, "luxurious interior," acceleration, safety and reliability, while critiquing its small trunk and numb steering on certain models.
