On the road to mapping out the course of our future, we rediscovered something:

the very essence of who we are. It’s an idea every great Buick® of the past has stood

for, and the touchstone every Buick from this day forward must attain. It is called

the romantic art of the automobile. It’s what sculpture looks like when it’s set

in motion. How elegance feels when it’s meticulously crafted. The way the arc of

a hood or the flare of a fender can be positively sensuous. And how sanctuary can

be found with the simple act of shutting a door. The romantic art of the automobile

is a belief that transportation should truly transport you. Every curve of chrome,

every yard of leather, every stunning technological innovation, all working in

concert to give the people who matter most the things that matter most. Like the

confidence of uncommon power and control. The reassuring feeling of comfort

and safety. And the visceral allure of an enticing machine. Every Buick we build

will share this essence, and be built on this belief. Join us on our journey as we bring

romance back to the road. After all, life should be a beautiful ride. And you deserve

a car worthy of the trip. Drive Beautiful. Welcome to the 2008 Buick LaCrosse.®

In a world filled with “me too” mid-size sedans, there’s one beautiful exception.

The carefully crafted Buick LaCrosse. From the outset, it was designed to look and

feel unlike anything else in its class. Bright chrome flashes from its massive new

waterfall grille. Its sheet metal is sculpted with contemporary flair. QuietTuning®

brings peace to an interior that is a study in understated sophistication. Premium

amenities that come at extra cost on many mid-size cars are standard equipment.

Even the power and handling are impressively refined. And now there’s an exciting

new version of LaCrosse with an even higher level of luxury and performance: the

new LaCrosse Super. Exceptional beauty, comfort and confidence on the road.

That’s what makes the mid-size LaCrosse an exceptionally rewarding car to drive.

Before the first designer’s sketch ever appeared on paper, the LaCrosse development team was fixated on one thing: this mid-size car would have to be one of the quietest Buicks ever. Using precision acoustic instruments, they set out to accomplish their mission, and developed a cus-tomized version of the Buick-pioneered process called QuietTuning. It employs 22 different tech-nologies and tactics in service of one or more of the following three strategies:

1. Reduce noise at its source. The most elegant way to quiet the interior of a car is to find the source of the noise and make it stop. Or at least reduce the volume of noise being produced. Our LaCrosse acoustic specialists found many ways to reduce noise at its source. Among the most interesting was the use of a Helmholtz resonator on the exhaust of the available 3.6L engine. It alters the acoustic pattern of the exhaust to make it both quieter and more pleasant sounding with-out inhibiting the engine’s high-performance personality. And, during the 300-plus hours LaCrosse spent in wind tunnel testing, they analyzed noise caused by the aerodynamic details of the body and made small design modifications to significantly reduce that noise.

2. Block the noise path. Some noise can’t be elim-inated at its source, but much of it can be kept from finding its way into the cabin. So, in addition to its many acoustic sealers, barriers and shields, LaCrosse also has a special laminated steel panel behind its instrument panel. This panel doesn’t resonate, so it won’t produce noise of its own. It also creates a very effective acoustic shield — to help block out noise from under the hood. The acoustic laminate windshield and the laminated front side-door glass have a similar effect. They keep much of the noise of the out-side world on the outside of the car. Even the side-view mirrors get extra attention. A special sound barrier is installed at the point where the mirror housing is attached to the door, blocking yet another noise path.

3. Absorb noise in the cabin. Something special is waiting for the noise that still finds its way into the passenger compartment of LaCrosse: think of it as an armada of acoustic absorbers. They’re positioned in just the right places, so nearly all the noise is absorbed before it ever reaches the ears of the passengers.

The amazing result is a car that’s astonishingly quiet. It is truly a hushed sanctuary from the out-side world. LaCrosse is surely one of the quietest Buicks on the road.TR

The peacefulness QuietTuning brings to

the cabin of LaCrosse belies the power

that’s hidden under its hood. Every

LaCrosse CX and CXL comes standard

with the most proven engine in GM’s

inventory: the smooth, reliable, 200-horse-

power 3.8L 3800 Series III V6. Every

LaCrosse CXS is motivated by one of GM’s

most advanced engines: the 240-horse-

power 3.6L VVT V6. With either engine,

you’ll control all that refined power with

a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic

transmission. And, back in the library-

like quietness of LaCrosse’s cabin, you’ll

really enjoy monitoring the performance.

Because the beautifully designed instru-

ment panel has gauges with the look of

Swiss chronographs.

3.6L VVT V6 Engine. Developed for premium and high-performance vehicles, this is one of GM’s most advanced engines, and it’s standard on LaCrosse CXS. It’s an all-aluminum design that uses fully variable valve timing (VVT) for both intake and exhaust. V V T reduces emissions and provides outstanding fuel economy — 17 mpg city, 25 hwy.* Its 240-hp, 225 lb-f t of torque are equally impressive.

3.8L 3800 Series III V6. With over 25 million sold, this is the most proven engine in GM’s inventory. The Series III version in LaCrosse adds more refinement and response to the engine’s out-standing record for performance and reliability. Developing 200 horsepower and 230 lb-ft torque, the 3800 has everything it takes to move LaCrosse smartly down the road. Recent enhancements have made it even smoother and quieter-running.

Sport-Tuned Suspension. This standard LaCrosse CXS suspension is impressively firm and con-trolled to match the model’s high performance characteristics. The MacPherson strut coil-over-spring independent front and trailing arm rear design use gas-charged dampers with four-stage valving for precise control. 32-mm front and 19.4-mm rear tubular stabilizer bars help control body rol l . The Spor t-Tuned suspension was calibrated to work in harmony with the 240-hp 3.6L VVT V6 that’s standard on LaCrosse CXS.

StabiliTrak.® This available stability control system has the uncanny ability to sense the direction in which the driver is steering, and the power to help the dr iver keep LaCrosse on course in demanding or adverse conditions like wet, snow-covered or icy roads. It can aid the driver when sudden evasive maneuvers are required by traffic conditions. And it all happens so subtly, the driver may never sense it’s occurring.

ABS/Traction Control. ABS helps you maintain stopping and steering control in emergency sit-uations by automatically modulating the brakes when the wheel-speed sensors detect lockup. Those same wheel-speed sensors are used to detect wheel slippage for LaCrosse’s traction control system. When the drive wheel is found to be spinning much faster than the other wheels, a series of interventions is initiated to automatically reduce power and help control wheelspin. LaCrosse CXS has a traction control system that not only uses engine intervention but brake management — automatically applying the brakes at one or more of the four wheels, as required —for additional wheel slippage control.

It can help you make dinner reservations for your anniversary — or help get

emergency medical assistance for your infant child. It can help you find your car in

a huge, unfamiliar parking lot — or help you find your way through a dark, unfamiliar

city. It can keep you in sync with your family, your business, and the right path to

your next destination. It offers the simplest and smartest voice-guided navigation

system. It’s OnStar® with Turn-by-Turn Navigation. And it’s standard equipment

on every LaCrosse.*

OnStar is a factory-installed safety and security system that helps keep you

protected and connected on the road. Using global positioning satellites to locate

your vehicle, a live, specially trained Advisor is there to help you with something as

major as an air bag deployment or as minor as a lockout.

OnStar voice-guided Turn-by-Turn Navigation** gives you simple, voice-guided

directions that let you keep your eyes on the road and hands safely on the wheel.

Simply press the blue OnStar button and say where you want to go. There’s no map

to read and nothing to enter manually. And if you miss a turn, the system can help

get you back on track automatically.

With OnStar, you have access to OnStar Hands-Free Calling,† a voice-activated

calling feature, so you can stay better connected on the road. If your air bags

deploy, OnStar receives a signal and can try to contact you to see if you need help.

If you need emergency assistance, OnStar can contact a nearby emergency service

provider with your request for help. If you have a flat, are out of gas, or need a tow,

an Advisor is ready to help there too. OnStar can also work with police to attempt

to locate your vehicle if it’s stolen,†† and in most cases can send a signal to unlock

your doors if you’re locked out.††

In addition, there’s OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, a service that automatically runs

hundreds of diagnostic checks on your vehicle’s key operating systems, and then

sends you monthly e-mail reports with all the results. You’ll get information like:

when to get an oil change, the air pressure in all four tires and the state of the

anti-lock braking system.

With OnStar, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ve done all you can to protect

your family and prepare for whatever comes down the road.

* OnStar with one-year Directions & Connections Plan comes standard on every Buick LaCrosse. OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Subscription Service Agreement required. Visit onstar.com for system limitations and details.

**Not available in all markets. See your dealer for details. † OnStar Hands-Free Calling (HFC) requires an HFC-enabled vehicle, existing OnStar service contract and prepaid calling

minutes, and is not available in certain markets. Calls may be made to the U.S. and Canada. ††Ability to locate stolen vehicles and remote door unlock vary with conditions.

After

LaCrosse was designed with safety and protection as top priorities. Helping occupants avoid serious injury in the event of a crash was a given. But our engineers were committed to doing much more. Like helping the driver avoid crashes. And summoning aid after a crash has occurred.

Before. To help reduce slipping and come to a quick, controlled stop, every LaCrosse has trac-tion control, an anti-lock braking system and an ingenious tire pressure monitoring system. All LaCrosse models also feature OnStar with one-year Directions & Connections Plan* that includes OnStar Turn-By-Turn Navigation to help you reach your destination. In addition, the following features are available to help drivers avoid the unexpected. Electrochromic auto- dimming mirrors to dramatically reduce headlamp glare. StabiliTrak stability control system that helps you maintain control and stay on your intended course.

During. If a crash is unavoidable, LaCrosse’s air bags will be there to help protect. There are dual-stage driver and right front passenger air bags.** And two roof rail-mounted head-curtain side air bags† to provide head protection for both front and rear outboard occupants. Strategically engi-neered front and rear crumple zones help absorb the energy of the collision before it reaches the occupants. Safety cage construction surrounds the cabin sides to redirect the energy of a side impact away from occupants.

After. If your air bags deploy, LaCrosse’s amazing OnStar receives a signal and will try to contact you to see if you need help. If you need emer-gency assistance, OnStar will contact a nearby emergency service provider with your request for help. If you have a flat, are out of gas, or need a tow, an Advisor is ready to help there too.*

* OnStar, with one-year Directions & Connections Plan, comes standard on every Buick LaCrosse. OnStar acts as a link to emergency service providers. Visit onstar.com for system limitations and details. Not available in all markets.

** Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with a Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in an appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.

† Head-curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. G

IMPORTANT WORDS ABOUT THIS BROCHURE

We have tried to make this brochure comprehensive and factual. We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, with-out notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, models, and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measure-ments, ratings and other numbers in this brochure and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to vehicles are approximates based upon design and engineering drawings and prototypes and laboratory tests. Your vehicle may differ due to variations in manufacture and equipment. Since some informa-tion may have been updated since the time of printing, please check with your Buick dealer for complete details. Buick reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any reason, or to start and end model years at different times.

New Vehicle Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. This warranty is for GM vehicles registered in the USA. See your Buick dealer for terms and conditions. Covered for 4 years/ 50,000 miles (whichever comes first): The complete vehicle •Tires •Towing to your nearest Buick dealership •Cosmetic corrosion resulting from defects •Repairs made to correct any vehicle defect •No charge for most warranty repairs Covered for 5 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first): Powertrain Limited Warranty with courtesy transportation and roadside assistance Covered for 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first): Rust-through corrosion.

Corrosion Protection. Buick vehicles are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-through corrosion for six years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Application of additional rust-inhibiting materials is not required under the corrosion coverage and none is recommended. See your Buick dealer for terms of this limited warranty.

An Important Note About Alterations and Warranties. Installations or alterations to the original equipment vehicle (or chassis) as distributed by General Motors are not covered by the General Motors New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The special body company, assembler, equipment installer or upfitter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems or assemblies installed by GM. General Motors is not responsible for the safety or quality of design features, materials or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers.

Assembly. Buick vehicles and their components are assembled or produced by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Buick vehicles with different or differ-ently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assem-bled, we suggest that you verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered or, if there are changes, that they are acceptable to you.

Engines. Buick products are equipped with engines produced by GM Powertrain or other suppliers to GM worldwide. The engines in Buick products may also be used in other GM makes and models.

A Note About Child Safety. Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in an appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.

GM Protection Plan is the only vehicle service contract endorsed by General Motors. The GM Protection Plan offers mechanical coverage for the parts and labor costs of repairing covered vehicle components against failure — even if it results from wear and tear (except in Kentucky). Depending on the level of coverage, additional benefits may include Roadside Assistance, alternate transportation or towing. The GM Protection Plan also offers basic maintenance coverage for specific maintenance needs. Ask your dealer about the GM Protection Plan or visit gmprotectionplan.com for coverage information and details.
