The new ‘2008 Buick LaCross Super’ at the 2007 NYIAS
The 2008 Buick LaCrosse Super
The 2008 LaCrosse emphasizes more on comfort and refinement rather than mere speed. Buick's foray into the world of speed and special badges was mainly the task of GM's Performance Division. While John Heinricy developed both the LaCrosse Super and Lucerne Super, the former excels in picking interest.
Buick's Super cars are focused more on comfort and capability than pure speed, and therefore the laptimes-at-all-costs modifications have been kept to a minimum on the LaCrosse. 
Some of the improved features in LaCrosse include:
- Revised steering with modified steering rack, designed to reduce friction.
- Improved wheel damping via Bilstein shocks.
- Upgraded trim.
- Up-rated braking components aimed at providing more over-the-road speed.
- Woven leather seating surfaces.
- Dual exhausts.
- Dash woodgrain and shift lever come along for the ride.
