2005 Buick LaCrosse CXS front.JPG

Following the update of Pontiac's related Grand Prix by a year, platform-mate Buick Regal gets a new look and name. The pushrod 3.8-liter V6, 4-speed automatic, and much of the redesign carries over. The CXS model gets a much more modern DOHC V6 with 240, but otherwise, most of the Regal is status quo. The new interior is pretty classy.
