We aren’t talking about styling or content tweaks – instead, General Motors is revising its packaging strategy for the LaCrosse. Buick will be ditching the CX, CXL and CXS trim level designations and simply offer large option packages that encompass all of the available amenities. For 2012, the 2.4-liter Ecotec engine with eAssist technology will be offered as the “standard” powertrain.
