Never thought I'd say this....But the Taurus has potential

I didn't get to review an SHO (at the time, they were special-order only), but here is my detailed review of the SEL model:

I looked at both and felt the LaCrosse was a smaller car. The trunk is rather small and the interior tighter. Buick does not offer the 3.6 engine with AWD, only the base 3.0.

Of the two, I preferred the smaller dimensions and styling of the Buick but both of them offer a lot. I like the eco-boost but would stay away from it for the first year or two.
My guess is that they'll both do well in the long run.

The Taurus and Lincoln MK? are built in the Chicago Heights plant, and for the past two years Ford has had one of the largest display areas at the Chicago Auto Show. A lot of consumer info (Eco-Boost, manufacturing, safety etc.). It might be their traveling show. On the day I was there it was drawing a lot of interest.

It's probably better for Ford and GM to remain as competitors....not unite. Both companies are doing some nice stuff now. Taking away that competition would only lessen the incentive of both corporations to do better vehicles.

I am surprised that I have not seen the younger guys start dropping them on some big wheels. I thought it would be a Chrysler 300 kind of thing but I guess not

I saw this car in person the other day and it is HUGE! I knew it was a move up from the mid-size Taurus (Ford Fusion), but I didn't expect it to be so big. It's long and very, very tall.
I believe it was the SHO version.
