Owning one
An estimate, for the Base · 9-spd auto · 3.6L trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Buick gave up the traditional shifter here, making this LaCrosse the first with a column-mounted gear selector.
Consumer Reports warned the LaCrosse's electronic gear selector would puzzle, if not anger, the drivers who kept Buick's lights on.
This LaCrosse introduced HiPer Strut — the first front suspension of its kind on any North American car, built to cut torque steer and sharpen handling.
South Korea got this LaCrosse under a different name entirely, the Daewoo-built Alpheon.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
