Lead by the 2010 LaCrosse, Buick sales overall rose 17.7 percent in January, compared to the same month last year. The LaCrosse luxury sedan saw a 139 percent sales increase from January 2009.
The LaCrosse continues to attract new customers to Buick, with 18 percent of vehicle trade-ins coming from people with non-U.S. makes. The vehicle is also attracting younger buyers, with more than one-third of LaCrosse buyers being younger than 55 years old, and 46 percent with household incomes above $75,000. Redesigned from the ground up, the 2010 LaCrosse offers all-wheel drive, a suite of advanced personal technologies and safety features and a luxurious interior.
The Enclave, Buick’s luxury crossover, also posted strong results with a 5.6 percent increase in sales compared to January of 2009. The LaCrosse and Enclave were recently named a best buy by Consumer Guide’s 2010 Best Buy and Recommended Award. In addition, the LaCrosse and Enclave were named Sedan of the Year and Three-Row SUV/Crossover of the Year by MotherProof.com.
