The LaCrosse is the wildest looking for the date and focuses on a strong age group concerned with fuel prices. The LaCrosse is technically classified as a mid-size sedan, but all measurements indicate that a large sedan. Wind deflectors have been improved for better aerodynamics that allow smooth airflow stream and electronically controlled shutters in the lower grille close to high-speed air driving the vehicle.

The conventional four-speed automatic transmission has bowed to pave the way for a new Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission. Another way to increase mpg higher final-drive gearing keeps the engine revving lower on the highway. If the engine stalls during a stop, an additional electric pump keeps the engine prepared and the liquid flow. This includes the transmission is ready for use when acceleration starts back up. Both the engine and transmission are built to brakes and recharging the battery during coasting and braking to stimulate. Tires are low rolling resistance and designed for optimum performance and fuel economy.
