2005 Buick Allure CXS (Video Clip)
General Motors has been hard at work in the last few years devising plans to re-invigorate each of its divisions. Cadillac is the one that received the most attention recently because the nameplate was slowly sinking into oblivion. The wave of change made its way to Buick where certain models had not been reviewed in the last six or seven years. Some still remain unchanged whereas others, like the long-running Buick Regal, have finally been updated. According to Buick, this W-body chassis has received many improvements. Although it carries over some mechanical aspects from the past, it also inherits some modern bits from the GM parts bin. In the US, the new car is called the LaCrosse, referring to the game. Here in Quebec, the term can be associated with something very different, therefore the new Buick was re-baptised the Allure for Canada.
