2008 Buick LaCrosse CXL

About 2008 Buick LaCrosse Buick has rekindled a powerful name from its past to mark the beginning of a new level of refinement for the 2008 Buick LaCrosse line-up: "Super." The Super badge is designated exclusively for the most premium LaCrosse available. The Super moniker returns to Buick vehicles for the first time in 50 years. The Super badge debuted in 1939 on 1940 model Buicks and last appeared in 1958. The LaCrosse Super's design elements include a new waterfall grille, a new hood and a new front fascia incorporating a lower grille opening with chrome trim and chrome fog lamp bezels. Inside, the LaCrosse Super's front seats provide increased seatback bolstering and woven-embossed leather inserts. A woodgrain appearance accents the instrument panel, center console, doors and gearshift knob. Exclusive instrument cluster graphics include Super identification. The LaCrosse Super's 5.3-liter V-8 makes 300 horsepower and 323 lb.-ft. of torque, helping the LaCrosse Super go from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. The engine uses GM's Active Fuel Management to seamlessly switch between four- and eight-cylinders to save fuel. A specially tuned suspension system aids steering precision, ride control and feel, and braking performance. An 18-inch tire and wheel set is standard (chrome wheels are also available).
