When the LaCrosse first came out and the heavy marketing comparing it the ES350 was in full swing we thought it would be fun to pull up to the Buick dealer in our 08 ES350 UL. The salesman literally ran out of the building and you could practically hear him yelling "whooo hoo" So we looked one over as it sat next to the Lexus and he quickly began berating the Lexus rather than selling the Buick. Major turn off, you don't sell cars by berating what I drove onto the lot. The first thing about the Buick, well it is so bulky. Compared to the long low lines of the Lexus it seemed downright chunky and heavy-handed in it's styling. As for the interior, I would like it if everything didn't seem so cheap and plasticky. It did ride nice but I thought the engine was noisy, but that's me. We got back to the dealership and the saleman almost had the plates off the Lexus already. We handed the keys back and told him all the ways it didn't even compare to the Lexus, I told him it was a good effort but it would never get me out of the Lexus.
