As if it was to just sit back and take the hits while its little brother Regal gets all of the attention from the horsepower gods, Buick has announced a horsepower upgrade for the 2012 Buick LaCrosse in the form of a 303-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injection V6.
The nice new engine will be a no-cost option and is rated at 17 mpg city and 27 highway. The last time we tested a LaCrosse, it was a 2010 CXL 3.0 with 255 horsepower. It managed 60 in 8.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 16.4 seconds at 86 mph.
While we're glad to see this in the LaCrosse, we can't help wonder why it's not in the Enclave yet....
