Who is going to cross shop a LaCrosse and a Grand Prix GXP? I bet not many. Impala SS is closer to the GXP in terms of buyers than the Buick is.

Re: LaCrosse Super?

I'm not a Buick target customer. I probally never will be. I perfer cars that not only have alot of power, but have that fun to drive factor that soft smooth riding cars will never have. I can see myself in a used BMW M3 (I think new ones are overpriced). When I'm 65 I can see myself in a Chrysler 300C or SRT8. But I'm not Buick's target market, nor do I think I ever will be. Not to worry, outside of the previous IS300, I'll probally never be a Lexus customer either (more of an Infinity type of guy ).

That being said, I think anything Buick does to get a pulse in their lineup is great news. While Cadillac is off chasing the "World Standard" of BMW and Mercedes, I see Buick as a Chrysler & Lincoln level vehicle line. Both have a far greater coolness factor than Buick.

I'm not sure about this "Ultra" moniker though. I'd reccomend "GN" or even at the risk of peeving some enthusiasts, "GNX" instead.

But again, like I said, I'm not the person who's likely to be a Buick buyer.
