Export Infiniti FX35 World Wide Delivery Call 1-888-705-6787
The original Infiniti FX explored the boundaries of sportiness in an SUV, though not without some drawbacks in utility. It is sold as an FX35 and FX50 model. A 303-horsepower V-6 powers the FX35, while a 390-hp V-8 powers the FX50, which is covered in a separate report in the Cars.com Research section. A number of luxury SUVs, from the Lexus RX 350 to the Mercedes M-Class, compete with the FX. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the FX35, and all-wheel drive is optional.
New for 2011
A power liftgate will become standard later in the model year.
Exterior
The FX's beady headlights and snout-nosed grille are at least as controversial as those elements on its predecessor if not more so. Along the side, functional air vents reduce the FX's lift, Infiniti says. With rear-wheel drive, the FX35's front/rear weight distribution is 52/48. Exterior features include:
Standard bi-xenon headlights
Standard 18-inch alloy wheels
Available 20-inch alloy wheels
Interior
The cabin has a high dashboard. A ledge just below the windshield curls around to the windowsills, and air-conditioning and stereo controls sit below an available navigation display. The leather seats can come with quilted center inserts. Power adjustments for the front seats are standard. Interior features include:
Standard reclining rear seat
Standard Bluetooth
Standard dual-zone climate control
Standard power liftgate
Standard USB input for MP3 players
Optional heated and cooled front seats
Under the Hood

Export Mercedes E-350 Sedan World Wide Delivery Call 1-888-705-6787
Jul 12, 2011 – The following is a review for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
A common bit of advice when weighing a big-ticket purchase is to separate the things you need from the things you want. Hard as it may be to distinguish sometimes — a Rolex is better at keeping time, right? — there's almost always a difference.
Mercedes' new E-Class Cabriolet is the kind of car that skews more to your wants than your needs. It's a luxury droptop that exudes loads of cruising style and possesses premium amenities designed to extend the convertible driving season.
The E-Class Cabriolet is, in short, way more than you need — but just what you've always wanted.
The convertible is available in either V-6 E350 or V-8 E550 form (to see a side-by-side comparison of the two, click here). This review focuses on the E550 because that's the version I spent the most time driving, but I also had a chance to briefly test an E350. I'll cover its performance, too.
Styling
The convertible is the newest member of the redesigned E-Class family, joining the sedan and coupe that debuted last year, and the droptop retains the sleek lines established by the coupe. It's sort of like the Swiss bank account of convertibles:
The insulated three-piece soft-top maintains a graceful arc that's very similar to the coupe's roofline. The top stows under a portion of the rear deck without resulting in an overly tall trunklid — something that makes for a frumpy shape on some other droptops, like the Chrysler Sebring.
Convertible Commentary
It takes about 25 seconds to lower or raise the top, which is fully powered and works in near silence. The top is controlled by a lever hidden under a portion of the center armrest, and it can operate when the car is in motion, as long as you're not going faster than 25 mph.
One of the most impressive attributes of the E-Class Cabriolet is its quiet cabin when the top is up. It's practically as quiet as a metal-roof coupe, with just some slight wind noise right above your head when traveling at highway speeds.
The E-Class Cabriolet introduces Mercedes' new Aircap system, which features a power-operated wind deflector at the top of the windshield and a powered windscreen behind the rear seats. The system is designed to create a pocket of air around front and rear occupants when the top is down to better keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. For us, Aircap didn't really affect front occupants' experience — it's gusty at 65 mph with the windows down — but it did help cut down on wind rush in the backseat.
Top-up visibility is a problem in some convertibles, but it's less of an issue in the E-Class. Over-shoulder visibility is good because there aren't any B-pillars to block your view, and the C-pillars are sufficiently thin. However, the Aircap windscreen between the rear head restraints partially obscures cars right behind you when you look in the rearview mirror.
V-6 or V-8?
So why should you spend even more money — nearly $8,000 more — for the V-8-powered E550 Cabriolet? You don't really need to, because the V-6 E350 Cabriolet is fairly quick, with a zero-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds, according to Mercedes-Benz. However, if you have a hankering for high-speed passing power or just like low-end torque, the V-8-powered E550 is the one you want. The V-8 knocks more than a second from the convertible's zero-to-60 time, to 5.1 seconds, and endows the car with the characteristics of a butler with a penchant for weightlifting:
The E550's 5.5-liter V-8 makes a generous 382 horsepower, but if you're just out for a leisurely cruise it stays in the background and emits only a quiet burble. Press the gas pedal firmly — you have to because the pedal takes some effort to push down — and you'll experience that addictive V-8 rush of power. That high, however, comes at the expense of fuel economy; the E550 gets an EPA-estimated 15/22 mpg city/highway, compared with the E350's less thirsty 17/25 mpg rating.
Both the V-6 and the V-8 team with a seven-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels. The transmission is all about unobtrusiveness through smoothness; with the gear selector in Drive, shifts aren't so much felt as they are heard when engine rpm changes. Even the transmission's manual mode maintains the focus on comfort and refinement; when you press the available upshift and downshift paddles on the steering wheel, you may have to wait a second before the gear change happens, which distances you from the driving experience.

Export Nissan All Models World Wide Delivery Call 1-888-705-6787
The 2012 Nissan GT-R gains more power, supplemented by a few styling and aerodynamic changes to the exterior and a few revisions to the interior. A new GT-R Black Edition debuts.
Introduction
Where high technology meets high performance, you find some serious automobiles. As an example, look no further than the 2012 Nissan GT-R. As the representative of Nissan's latest technology, the GT-R packs some pretty serious hardware, including a fire-breathing twin-turbo V6, a dual-clutch automated manual transmission, an advanced all-wheel-drive system and a sport-focused suspension with adaptive dampers. The GT-R's performance numbers push it into supercar category, yet the Nissan maintains a significantly lower price point.
This year the Nissan GT-R expands its performance envelope even farther. Power output rises to 530 horsepower (45 hp more than last year) and 488 pound-feet of torque (up from 434) thanks to the combination of revised turbo boost and more free-flowing intake and exhaust systems. The already impressive brakes also have been enlarged slightly to better deal with the added performance potential.
The GT-R's appearance gets a mild freshening that goes beyond just a few cosmetic tweaks. A reshaped front fascia improves cooling of the engine and brakes, while other bodywork changes reduce overall aerodynamic drag and increase downforce. Nissan says the new wheels are both lighter and stronger than before. High-intensity LED running lights might be the most visually noticeable difference for the 2012 model, however.
Within the cabin, a carbon-fiber center stack is new, as are matte-black switches and a redesigned instrument panel pad. The backrests of the front seats have been reshaped. And this year's Black Edition comes with unique wheels, seats and interior colors.
We still have a few criticisms, albeit minor ones. We wish a traditional manual transmission had been made optional -- not just to satisfy the purists but also to avoid the awkward low-speed performance of the dual-clutch transmission. The GT-R's bulk (it weighs around 3,800 pounds) also makes it feel heavier in tight corners than the typical supercar, while Nissan's stiff-legged ride might be of concern to drivers who value comfort more than outright performance.
Even so, the 2012 Nissan GT-R is an amazing car, as easy to drive as a Nissan Altima yet able to easily match the performance of $500,000 supercars. If you take the GT-R's price as a base line for comparison, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 can keep up with the Nissan, but only if commanded by a truly gifted pilot. The Porsche 911 is competitive in regard to cost, but only the more expensive models (notably the Porsche 911 Turbo) can match it. In the end, the triple threat of performance, technology and price means there's pretty much nothing like the 2012 GT-R.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2012 Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sport coupe with a 2+2 seating layout that is offered only in the Premium trim level.
Standard features include 20-inch alloy wheels with high-performance tires, automatic xenon headlights, LED running lights, Brembo brakes, an electronically adjustable suspension, leather/faux-suede upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, keyless ignition/entry, dual-zone automatic climate control and an 11-speaker Bose CD/MP3 audio system with two subwoofers, satellite radio, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth phone and streaming audio. Also standard is a multifunction driver-configurable information monitor and a hard-drive-based navigation system with 9.4 gigabytes available for audio storage, real-time traffic and weather.
A new GT-R Black Edition adds lightweight black wheels, a unique black and red interior and leather Recaro seats. Options are few and include a no-cost Cold Weather package (darker wheels, Dunlop all-season run-flat tires and a unique coolant-to-water ratio for faster engine warmup), a rearview camera and an extra-cost "Super Silver" paint job that has been given three layers of clear coat and then polished by hand.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2012 Nissan GT-R is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 530 hp and 488 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission routes this power to the ground via an advanced AWD system.
The previous GT-R was already one of the most impressive performers that have graced our test track, but the 2012 model positively stunned us into silence. The new GT-R reaches 60 mph in only 3.1 seconds -- more than a half-second quicker than before. The 2012 changes also improve handling, as witnessed by a 74.7-mph blast through our slalom and a sticky 1.02g on our skid pad (previously a 71.1-mph run and 1.00g, respectively).

Export Volvo All Models World Wide Delivery Call 1-888-705-6787
The Volvo S60 gains a base model for 2012. Dubbed T5, it comes with a turbocharged five-cylinder engine.
Introduction
With the 2012 Volvo S60, you can cast aside any preconceived notions about Volvos being bland, boxy or boring. Volvo's midsize luxury sedan -- curvaceous, modern, coupelike -- is one of the snazziest in its class. No "for a Volvo" qualification is needed; the S60 is a good-looking car bound to attract new folks to the brand.
Volvo redesigned the S60 just last year, giving it new styling, an updated interior and a powerful, 300-horsepower turbocharged engine. There are still some traditional Volvo strengths, though, including a comfortable ride, cosseting front seats and a focus on safety. Although the S60 doesn't lead the way in airbag count, it does have a variety of available driver warning systems designed to mitigate inattention in a world filled with smartphones and misbehaving children. Volvo's City Safety system, for example, is a standard feature that can automatically stop the car if a low-speed collision is imminent.
A subset of traditional Volvo buyers expect turbocharged engines, and the S60 offers two of them for 2011. Joining the 300-hp T6 AWD model is a new base T5 model fitted with a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 engine. The T5 is good for 250 hp and boasts class-competitive acceleration and fuel economy. Both engines have the energetic snappiness that turbo Volvos of old were known for, only without the wheel-wrenching torque steer.
We're impressed with the 2012 Volvo S60. It's priced competitively, often thousands less than the competition. And while it isn't a sport sedan like a BMW 3 Series or Infiniti G37, the Volvo S60 fits right in against more comfort-tuned entry-level luxury sedans like the Acura TL, Audi A4, Cadillac CTS and Mercedes-Benz C300. In other words, you no longer have to think outside the box to consider a Volvo.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2012 Volvo S60 is a midsize luxury sedan available in two trim levels -- T5 and T6 -- that correspond to engine type. The T5 comes standard with 17-inch wheels, heated mirrors, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver seat with memory functions and adjustable lumbar, power-folding rear headrests, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, T-Tec cloth upholstery, Bluetooth and an eight-speaker sound system with a CD player, HD radio, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface. The T6 adds a more powerful engine and standard all-wheel drive, plus 18-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension, different steering tuning (includes selectable settings), leather upholstery and the auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The Premium package adds bi-xenon headlights, a sunroof, an eight-way power passenger seat and, for the T5, the leather upholstery and auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Climate package adds heated front seats, heated windshield washers, automatic wipers and headlight washers. The Multimedia package adds a rearview camera, a navigation system with real-time traffic and a 12-speaker premium surround-sound audio system. The Technology package adds adaptive cruise control, driver-attention warning, lane-departure warning and a collision warning system with auto braking and pedestrian detection. Stand-alone options include a blind-spot warning system, front and rear parking sensors and keyless ignition/entry.
Available on the T5 is the Dynamic package, which adds 18-inch wheels and the T6's sport-tuned suspension and selectable steering settings. Available on the T6 is an adaptive suspension called Four-C that includes three driver-selectable settings, as well as chassis tuning from the T5 Touring and (at no cost) 17-inch wheels.
Powertrains and Performance
The front-wheel-drive 2012 Volvo S60 T5 gets a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 engine that produces 250 hp and 266 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is standard. Volvo estimates that the T5 will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. Estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined -- pretty thrifty given its power.
The S60 T6 offers AWD and a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that produces 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed auto is standard. In Edmunds performance testing, the S60 T6 hit 60 mph in 5.9 seconds -- about the same as other AWD sedans with similar power. Estimated fuel economy stands at 18/26/21.
Safety
Upholding Volvo's sterling reputation for passenger protection, the 2012 S60 comes loaded with standard safety features that include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, whiplash-reducing front head restraints and City Safety. The latter can help the driver avoid rear-ending other vehicles or a stationary object at speeds of up to 19 mph by automatically applying the brakes if he doesn't react in time.
Optional (via the Technology package) is Volvo's new pedestrian detection feature, which can apply full braking force (reducing speed by as much as 22 mph) to help you avoid hitting pedestrians who are at least 31 inches in height. This package also includes electronic warnings for driver inattention, lane departure and impending collision, the last of which includes automatic braking. Other safety options include front and rear parking sensors and a side blind-spot warning system.
In Edmunds brake testing, the T6 came to a stop from 60 mph in an excellent 114 feet.
Interior Design and Special Features
Interior materials in the 2012 Volvo S60 are on par with the rest of the entry-level luxury sedan class. The heavier graining on the dash and doors won't suit everyone, but there's no denying that the interior leather, vinyl and plastic are quality materials. Volvo's unique take on wood and metal accents also give the S60's cabin more personality than most rivals.
The straightforward dual-temperature adjustment dials and "mode man" pictogram make climate-control adjustments simple and intuitive. The audio system is fairly easy to use, too, though the array of small audio buttons is starting to look dated. The available DVD-based navigation system finally eliminates the complicated back-of-the-steering-wheel controls in earlier Volvos for a more conventional dial-type controller. The interface works fine in practice, although Volvo's navigation software still feels a few years behind.
As one expects of a Volvo, the front seats offer excellent long-trip comfort and proper support. Unfortunately, the backseat isn't quite as accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but legroom and foot room are tight for adults over 5-foot-8. Competitors like the C-Class and 3 Series are similarly sized, but an Acura TL or Cadillac CTS are more welcoming.
The trunk's 12-cubic-foot capacity is a bit small for the class as well, but a low liftover height makes it easy to access the space. Both the rear seats and the front passenger seat fold down, and there's a separate ski pass-through.
Driving Impressions
Volvo has gone to great lengths to characterize the 2012 S60 as "naughty," as if it's a misbehaving sport sedan. Really, the 2012 Volvo S60 is a comfortable, sophisticated and well-behaved luxury sedan with ample power whether you go with five or six turbocharged cylinders. It's a sure-footed handler with nicely weighted steering that feels substantial without being heavy.

The audio system is fairly easy to use, too, though the array of small audio buttons is starting to look dated. The available DVD-based navigation system finally eliminates the complicated back-of-the-steering-wheel controls in earlier Volvos for a more conventional dial-type controller. The interface works fine in practice, although Volvo's navigation software still feels a few years behind.
As one expects of a Volvo, the front seats offer excellent long-trip comfort and proper support. Unfortunately, the backseat isn't quite as accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but legroom and foot room are tight for adults over 5-foot-8. Competitors like the C-Class and 3 Series are similarly sized, but an Acura TL or Cadillac CTS are more welcoming.
The trunk's 12-cubic-foot capacity is a bit small for the class as well, but a low liftover height makes it easy to access the space. Both the rear seats and the front passenger seat fold down, and there's a separate ski pass-through.
Driving Impressions
Volvo has gone to great lengths to characterize the 2012 S60 as "naughty," as if it's a misbehaving sport sedan. Really, the 2012 Volvo S60 is a comfortable, sophisticated and well-behaved luxury sedan with ample power whether you go with five or six turbocharged cylinders. It's a sure-footed handler with nicely weighted steering that feels substantial without being heavy.

The following is a review for the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Once the most desirable coupe among the aftermarket tuner crowd, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe has long since been replaced in that role by the Mitsubishi EVO. The Eclipse Coupe is now a more mellow sport coupe, competing with the likes of the Honda Accord Coupe, Nissan Altima Coupe and the Volvo C30. The 2012 Eclipse Coupe impresses with its exotic good looks, affordable window sticker, and noteworthy performance. While other two-door hatchbacks, such as the Volkswagen GTI and Mini Cooper, fall into the same price range as the Eclipse Coupe, neither can match the up-level Eclipse GT's 265-horsepower engine. However, the V6-powered Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are both less expensive and more powerful than the Eclipse GT.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a sporty yet comfortable two-door, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe deserves your full attention. Although it may look like a high priced exotic, the Eclipse Coupe's price tag remains within reach.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If your ideal performance coupe is rear-wheel drive and has 300 or more horsepower, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe probably shouldn't be on your list.
What's Significant About This Car?
A host of new styling and creature comforts added in 2011 carry over to the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe. These include a black-painted roof panel, lowered suspension, and the addition of a 12-volt outlet to the center console. The base Eclipse GS's price is unchanged, while it gains heated leather seats, heated side mirrors, a power driver's seat, and a rear spoiler.
Driving It Driving Impressions
No longer the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive powerhouse once coveted in the 1990s, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe is still a fun and seductive ride. Engineered for a more mature driver, the 2012 Eclipse Coupe can still deliver plenty of thrill rides on curvy roads, while also serving as a very livable daily commuter. Both the four-cylinder and V6 engines provide plenty of low-end torque, which is the force required to merge quickly or scoot across an intersection. With the Eclipse GT, Mitsubishi has managed to strike a satisfying balance between steering responsiveness and low-speed control, both of which seem nearly effortless. The V6 has enough power to generate some torque steer (a tendency for the steering of a front-drive car to pull to one side or the other during hard acceleration), it's not unmanageable by any means.
Favorite Features
Rockford Fosgate Audio
Standard on the Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Sport and GT, the nine-speaker 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system features a six-disc in-dash CD changer that also plays MP3 files.
10-Year Warranty
Mitsubishi's 10-year/100,000-mile warranty on the powertrain is pretty hard to ignore when you're considering the pros and cons of a new-car purchase.

Mitsubishi has given the 2012 Eclipse Coupe an artful interior rich in curves and quality materials. The Coupe provides impressive outward visibility thanks primarily to an abundance of side glass. Hooded gauges and circular air vents create a cozy cockpit-like environment, which is made even more alluring by blue backlighting of the instruments and controls. Nicely bolstered front bucket seats strike a balance between being supportive during sporty drives, and supremely comfortable on longer trips. Rear-seat passengers, however, will find almost no legroom and very little headroom. We love the Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe's many available features, such as its heated leather seats, Rockford Fosgate high-end audio, and Bluetooth.

Adding to the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe's curvaceous good looks is a new, blacked-out roof panel, which is a tribute to the original Eclipse. The 2012 Eclipse Coupe also sits about half an inch lower, giving it a more custom look, as well as slightly improved cornering ability. Attention-catching details on the Eclipse Coupe include the blacked-out wide-mouth grille, clear rear taillamps that change color when their red LED lights ignite, and headlamps that include a blue tinted "monocle" lens extending from their centers. The Coupe's large rear hatch is becoming an increasingly novel feature in the coupe world, but its practicality can not be overlooked. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe comes in three trim levels: the base GS, the mid-level GS Sport, and the up-level GT.
Notable Standard Equipment
Standard equipment on the base 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS includes a 162-horsepower, four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Standard sound system is an AM/FM stereo unit with an MP3-compatible CD player. A move to the mid-level GS Sport adds a four-speed automatic transmission, heated leather front seats, power driver's seat, HID headlamps, and a power sunroof. The Eclipse GT Sport boasts a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker audio system. The top-of-the-line Eclipse GT adds a 265-horsepower V6 engine, a five-speed Sportronic automatic transmission, and automatic climate control.
Notable Optional Equipment
The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Sport and GT can be equipped with a Sport Aero Package that adds color-keyed front air dam, side sill extensions, and a rear air dam. Options are limited to a few dealer-installed items such as floor mats and a rear wing.
Under the Hood
Both engines in the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe feature Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Electronic Control (MIVEC), which spreads the output over a wider engine speed range and optimizes power, emissions, and fuel economy. The more desirable of the two engines, particularly for performance, is the 265 horsepower V6. The tradeoff for the additional power is an expected reduction in fuel economy, with a drop of three miles per gallon on the government's highway driving cycle. With either engine, the automatic transmission allows the driver to shift manually by moving the shift lever into the sports-mode gate.

Export Acura All Models World Wide Delivery Call 1-888-705-6787
The following is a review for the 2012 Acura TL.
Just three model years after a full redesign — relatively soon — Acura has restyled its 2012 TL midsize sedan to address objections to the "aggressive styling [that] may have been a bit too bold in the evolving market," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of sales for Acura. The car also gets a new transmission, higher mileage and numerous interior upgrades.
The TL comes in front- and all-wheel-drive versions and in a base model or with the optional Technology or Advance option packages. It competes with the Audi A6, Lexus ES 350, Lincoln MKZ and Volvo S60 and S80.
Exterior
Acura reduced the silver shield grille and added a horizontal crease in the bumper that makes the silver segment seem smaller still. The front overhang is shorter, and the headlights and turn-signal lights have been revised. Around back, Acura removed the chrome-under-glass look of the taillights and shaved some mass out of the bumper below them to make the car less blocky. The license plate position has also migrated, and the silver trim on the trunklid has been downsized.
Seventeen-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels and all-season tires are standard. The TL with Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive has 18-inch, five-spoke alloys with lower-profile tires. When equipped with the Advance Package, the TL's wheels are 19-inch, split-five-spoke aluminum rims with performance all-season tires.
Interior
The TL's well-appointed interior gets some upgrades for 2012, including a brighter display and more expansive navigation map coverage in the optional Technology Package, along with a faster USB port. The package includes real-time traffic with automatic rerouting, weather information and a premium stereo.
A new optional Advance Package includes heated and cooled front seats.
Under the Hood
Acura has replaced the 2011 TL's five-speed automatic transmission with a six-speed, which the company says improves acceleration without sacrificing efficiency. It uses rev-matching for smooth downshifts, even across two gears. A manual mode remains, and buyers can also opt for a conventional six-speed manual transmission
The base engine is a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, and all-wheel drive teams with a 305-hp, 3.7-liter V-6.
Gas mileage has improved. Aerodynamic improvements, reduced engine friction and the new six-speed collaborate to increase the 3.5-liter engine's highway mileage to 29 mpg from 26 mpg in the 2011. The city rating has increased 2 mpg to 20 mpg. Premium gas is required.
Safety
The TL has front airbags and side curtains. Also standard are front-seat-mounted side-impact torso airbags, which the rear seats don't offer. As in 2011, and now required of all 2012 models sold in the U.S., the TL has antilock brakes and an electronic stability system.
The Advance Package adds a blind spot warning system.

The following is a review for the new 2012 Buick LaCrosse.
There are lots of reasons to buy the Buick LaCrosse: its cosseting cabin, smooth ride, adept handling and number-three position in our large car rankings. While the LaCrosse gets decent gas mileage, it’s not why you’d buy the LaCrosse -- at least not until 2012.
“It's amazing to think of a hybrid system coming standard in a mass-market sedan, but that's exactly what Buick has in mind for the 2012 LaCrosse,” writes USA Today.
“The new car, which uses a 4-cylinder engine and a lithium-ion battery pack, is expected to get 37 miles-per-gallon on the highway and 25 mpg in the city,” explains CNNMoney. “Compared to the current 4-cylinder LaCrosse, the hybrid will provide roughly 25% to 30% better fuel economy.”
The LaCrosse already has some of the best fuel economy ratings in the class. Getting 25 mpg in the city and 37 on the highway would give it better fuel economy than many midsize cars.
Lefty Lane News explains, “This jump in fuel economy is made possible by adding a 115-volt lithium-ion battery, paired to a 15-kilowatt electric motor that is capable of producing 15 horsepower and 79 lb-ft of torque. The system is also capable of regenerative braking, which combined results in a 25 percent increase in fuel economy to 25 city, 37 highway.”
The system is designed to operate seamlessly. “During initial acceleration, the electric motor delivers 15 horsepower and 79 pound-feet of torque to get the LaCrosse moving,” writes Autoblog. “A torque-smoothing function is activated as the gasoline engine is turned on, and the eAssist system kicks back on during deceleration, using a fuel shut-off feature and regenerative braking, combined with a start/stop system for the 2.4-liter gasoline engine. At full tilt, the gas engine produces 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of twist to keep things moving along at speed, and is mated to GM's Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission.”
