    Have u driven the TL or ES? If so, how does this compare in your opinion? If you had pick 1 of the 3, which would u?

    Buick has made great strides recently, 1st w/ the Enclave & now this, but I wonder if it does stack up against the Acura TL or does it only look good on paper/pictures ...

    thanks
  • Hedorah,

    I have indeed driven all three and I would definitely pick the LaCrosse out of the 3. It has a much smoother drive and is very very comfortable compared to its rivals. It also offers more for less money and looks a lot better than the TL and ES in my opinion.

  • Thank you sir. Just looking for different ways to get you guys more involved in these test-drives we put together. Instead of just doing one whole review, we like to give you guys the chance to connect with us more while we test-drive these cars. Let us know if you have something else in mind. Suggestion box is open.
