Compare the 2010 Buick Lacrosse to the 2009 Lexus ES 350 in Miami

The fact is many people relate a Buick to their grandfathers old car but the truth is times are changing and so has the new 2010 Buick Lacrosse. For over a decade, Lexus has been quietly reaping the rewards of a luxury sedan that offers comfortable seating and at a reasonable price. Buick has now joined the game with its offering of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, starting at a base price of $33,765.

Now lets compare the two. Judging from the Buick Lacrosse standard, heated/ventilated, leather-upholstered front seats we can tell you that it offers a much more comfortable ride than the Lexus ES. The Buick Lacrosse also offers it’s back seat passengers more room for comfort than the Lexus. In terms of driving dynamics, the Lexus has one subtle but distinct advantage over the Buick, because you never notice the drivetrain at all. In the ES 350, the ultra-smooth and remarkably quiet V6 develops 272 horsepower, yet requires high-octane fuel to do so. The EPA's combined fuel economy rating for the 2009 Lexus ES 350 is 22 mpg, and we confirmed it with an observed average of 21 mpg. The direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS makes more power than the Lexus V6 with 280 hp and it does so with regular-grade fuel.

From behind the Buick CXS's standard heated steering wheel, we found its ride far more controlled and yet soothing than that of the squishy Lexus. The LaCrosse CXS has standard two-mode self-adjusting shock absorbers that do an excellent job of damping out impacts with a single(!) rebound stroke. In comparison, the Lexus feels soggy with its soft springs, and the traditional dampers allow the body to oscillate through at least two suspension cycles after an impact. An area where the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS scores big points is in our scoring for 10 selected features, including must-have items like navigation with real-time traffic information, remote starting, perforated leather seating with heat and ventilation, and so on. Of course there are items both cars have in common, like intelligent keys, premium audio systems, articulating xenon headlamps, dual-zone climate controls and oversize moonroofs.

New Talk on the GMC Acadia in Miami

GMC Acadia - What the Auto Press Says
 
The 2010 GMC Acadia ranks 4 out of 28 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 49 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Acadia, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
 
Built on the same platform as its General Motors siblings, the Buick Enclave and Saturn Outlook, the GMC Acadia is both affordable and luxurious. It offers class-leading seating capacity, good cargo space and smooth ride quality.
 
"Acadia is tailor-made for buyers who need a minivan but don't want to drive one," says Consumer Guide. "This crossover is dynamically capable, comes standard with a host of safety features, and offers several unusual and useful options. Though we consider it a midsize, those shopping large SUVs will find Acadia a more efficient alternative."
 
General Motors, GMC's parent company, has recently emerged from bankruptcy. Business should continue as usual, though the bankruptcy could add a layer of uncertainty for GM buyers. However, those who are able to stomach the uncertainty may be able to get a great deal on a new GMC. Check out What GM's Bankruptcy Means for You to answer any questions you have before buying.
 
For 2010, the Acadia is unchanged. It Acadia comes in three trims -- SLE-1, SLT-1 and SLT-2 -- which come with varying features. All-wheel drive is optional. 
 
    * "A week spent in each model showed the Acadia and Outlook to be competitive in virtually every respect with a pair of benchmarks, the Pilot and Toyota Highlander. And since the G.M. siblings performed as well -- and in some areas, better -- buyers who put a premium on passenger and cargo space may give them the edge." -- New York Times
    * "My Bottom Line -- The Acadia is a very capable mid-size SUV with a great engine and plenty of room. Similarly equipped, it's about $10,000 less than the almost identical Cadillac SRX, but more than the almost-identical Saturn Outlook, which has less content." -- The Auto Channel
 
Acadia Performance - 8.1 (Very Good)
 
The 2010 GMC Acadia offers adequate performance, but it falls short when compared to its quicker, more fun-to-drive rivals such as the Nissan Murano. "Front-drive versions are impressively stable and agile for a vehicle this size," says Consumer Guide. "AWD models -- even with the optional 19-inch tires -- feel a bit less nimble but benefit from added traction on slick surfaces. Acadia is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces due to its long, wide body." continue
Acadia Exterior - 8.8 (Very Good)
 
The Acadia styling is somewhat unconventional - a fact that reviewers like. "The 5-door Acadia is one of the best-looking crossover SUVs to debut recently," writes MSN. "It's neither macho nor feminine. Rather, the Acadia is well-proportioned overall, with a non-fussy style and just the right size of grille and headlights at the front -- not overdone and yet not plain, in other words." continue
Acadia Interior - 8.7 (Very Good)
 
The Acadia's cabin stands out because it third-row seat can comfortably fit even tall adults - a rarity in its class. Additionally, its interior is surprisingly luxurious for its class and price range. "Inside, everyone rests on well-cushioned seats, and the interior of the test Acadia was as quiet as a car," says MSN. "There wasn't even much wind noise at highway speeds." continue
Acadia Safety - 9.9 (Excellent)
 
The 2010 GMC Acadia does extremely well in federal government crash tests. The 2009 model was also an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety "Top Safety Pick." The Acadia comes with a comprehensive set of six standard air bags and innovative safety options. continue
Acadia Reliability - NA
 
The 2010 GMC Acadia comes with GM's three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty.
* "The biggest feeling I came away with from this truck was that it's substantial. No rattles, nothing felt loose -- in fact, everything felt pretty tight." -- AutoWeek
* "Maintenance: Not much. The engine uses timing chains instead of belts. ...  Many Japanese models use belts, which are quieter but eventually need replacing." -- USA Today
* "Build quality has been good, but one test model suffered from a rattle in the rear seating area." -- Consumer Guide

Practicality Meets SUV in Miami: The 2009 Yukon Hybrid

The 2009 GMC Yukon proves to be an amazing piece of machinery with its 21-mpg fuel economy and its ability to maintain a standard SUV’s towing capacity. Especially with the high price of gas in Miami these days, a fuel-efficient car is the option many Miami drivers are going with.

The 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is a full-size SUV that is available in one trim level. Some standard equipment that comes with the Hybrid are 18-inch alloy wheels, rear park assist with rearview camera, tinted windows, power-folding heated side mirrors and tri-zone automatic climate control. Some of the new features added to the 2009 model are Bluetooth connectivity and real time traffic for the XM satellite radio.

The new Hybrid continues to impress its Miami drivers with its performance and power terrain. Available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, the Yukon Hybrid maintains its toughness. Both models utilize a 6.0 liter V8 engine located inside what GM calls an electrically variable transmission. Together, they produce 332 horsepower and 367 pound-feet of torque. The system can accelerate the Yukon up to speeds of approximately 25 mph using electricity only. Regenerative breaking replenishes the batteries by capturing energy normally lost coming to a stop.

There is no doubt about the seriousness of the Yukon Hybrid. Not only is it tough enough to get your through Miami streets, it also is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. Talk about killing to birds with one stone.

The Pontiac Solstice is a Popular Car in Miami

There are few cars in the $20,000-$30,000 range that can turn heads quite like the Pontiac Solstice. This sexy styling, along with the Solstice’s able power train and sporty driving dynamics, has made it a sales success. For 2009, Pontiac has added even more varieties of Solstice to the menu. One addition to the 2009 Pontiac Solstice lineup is the Street Edition, which combines the base Solstice's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with the GXP's performance-oriented suspension.

The 2009 Pontiac Solstice is available as either a soft-top roadster or a coupe (late availability) with a removable roof panel. Both body styles are available in base or GXP trim levels. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 177 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque powers the base Solstice, while the turbocharged 2.0-liter four in the GXP models kicks the power output up to 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard for either engine, while a five-speed automatic is optional.
