Innovation and excellence justdoesn’t happen. It comes from adesire to be first and the abilityto follow through on that com-mitment.And Chrysler is celebrating its

90th anniversary in 2015 and allthe decades of excellence and in-novation, and part of that cele-bration is honoring such namesas the Chrysler Six, Airflow, Im-perial, New Yorker, 300 and Town& Country – names that havemade automotive history.“Through the years the compa-

ny has been a leader in design,engineering and innovativeideas,” said Fiat Chrysler spokes-woman Kathy Grahm. “The 300also has its 60th annivesary thisyear and we didn’t want to let theyear go by without recognizingthese milestones.”Chrysler invented the orginal

luxury mini-van with the Town &Country, Grahm said. That wassix years after Chrysler inventedthe mini-van, inventing an entire-ly new market segment in the au-to industry.And, Grahm said, people

should stay tuned to see how thecompany has built on that legacyof luxury and engineering excel-lence with the new Town & Coun-try be announced early nextyear.“We’re trying to celebrate our

company’s long history as we getready to introduce new and ex-

citing models in the next year,”Grahm said.Chrysler was founded on June

6, 1925, by Walter P. Chrysler. Hebuilt a company and a brand thatwasn’t afraid to push the limitsand think outside of the box, saidGrahm. In 1925, when Chryslerrealized his dream of creating hisown company, he dedicated thecompany’s efforts to excellencein engineering, while building af-fordable, luxurious cars at aprice consumers could afford.That tradition continues today.Through the last 90 years,

Chrysler vehicles were knownfor innovative engineering,groundbreaking style, Grahmsaid, and “looking moreexpensive than they were,” the

forerunner to affordable luxury.• 1920s – The first Chrysler

branded vehicle was born aspart of Maxwell Motors: theChrysler Six. Walter P. Chryslerwas Chairman of Maxwell Motorsprior to establishing ChryslerCorporation in June 1925. Pricedat $1,565, the light, powerful ve-hicle had a groundbreaking L-head six-cylinder engine andfour-wheel hydraulic brakes, anuncommon feature in the 1920s.Additional Chrysler Six featuresincluded tubular front axles, fullpressure lubrication, aluminumpistons, replaceable oil and airfilters, shock absorbers and indi-rect interior lighting.

BERLIN (AP) – The software atthe center of Volkswagen’s emis-sions scandal in the U.S. wasbuilt into the automaker’s cars inEurope as well, German officialssaid Sept. 24, though it isn’t yetclear if it helped cheat tests as itdid in the U.S.A day after longtime CEO Mar-

tin Winterkorn resigned over thescandal, a member of Volkswa-gen’s supervisory board said heexpects more executives to stepdown.The U.S. Environmental Protec-

tion Agency disclosed Sept. 18that stealth software makes VW’s2009-2015 model cars poweredby 2.0-liter diesel engines runcleaner during emissions tests

than in actual driving.The EPA accused VW of in-

stalling the so-called “defeat de-vice’’ in 482,000 cars sold in theUnited States. VW later acknowl-edged that similar software ex-ists in 11 million diesel carsworldwide and set aside 6.5 bil-lion euros ($7.2 billion) to coverthe costs of the scandal.The company has told officials

that the vehicles in question in-cluded VW cars with 1.6-liter and2-liter diesel engines in Europe,German Transport MinisterAlexander Dobrindt said Sept. 24.“We don’t yet have figures for

how many of these 11 millioncars that are apparently affectedare in Europe,’’ Dobrindt said.

“That will be cleared up in thenext few days.’’Authorities will continue work-

ing with Volkswagen to deter-mine what cars exactly are in-volved.It isn’t yet clear to what extent

the scandal affects other brandsin the Volkswagen Group, whichhas 12 brands in all – includingSeat, Audi, Skoda and Porsche. Itwas also not clear whether thesoftware would have led to VWcheating on emissions tests out-side the U.S. as well.Dobrindt last week set up a

commission of inquiry to look in-to the scandal. The motor trans-

VW Emission Scandal Hits 11M Vehicles

Volkswagen’s admission that11 million of its diesel vehiclesworldwide contain software thatcan rig emissions tests doesn’tmean that diesel technologydoesn’t work.That’s the message of the

Diesel Technology Forum, aWashington, D.C.-based non-prof-it organization the representsbusinesses in the diesel industry.“This scandal involves just one

company,” said Allen Schaeffer,executive director of the DieselTechnology Forum. “There areplenty of other auto manufactur-ers that make a good diesel prod-uct. But it’s fair to say that thisVW scandal could have an im-pact on diesel sales. We’ll have tosee what happens.”But, Schaeffer said, the forum

does not comment on specificcases or circumstances involvingindividual companies and en-forcement actions by the govern-ment.“However,” Schaeffer said, “to

the extent that these circum-stances have raised questionsabout diesel technology in gener-al, we offer the following. The im-portant thing to remember isthat clean diesel is a viable andimportant technology that willhave a role to play in the years tocome.“The circumstances involving

a single manufacturer do not de-fine an entire technology, or anindustry. Vehicle manufacturersand engine makers have investedbillions of dollars in research anddevelopment to successfullymeet the most aggressive emis-sions standards in the world.

They continue to work closelyand cooperatively with the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency,California Air Resources Board,international regulatory bodiesas well as environmental andother interests groups towardcommon goals.”Nothing has changed the fact

that the diesel engine is the mostenergy efficient internal combus-tion engine, Schaeffer said. It’sproven tech and its combinationof efficiency, power, reliability,performance, low-emissions andsuitability for using renewable fu-els ensures a place for dieseltechnology to help meet the de-mands of a global economy.“We are also confident that

consumers will continue to findthe new generation of cleandiesel cars, trucks and SUVs as acompetitive choice to meet theirpersonal transportation needs,”Schaeffer said. “Finally, it is im-portant to focus forward on thesignificant accomplishments ofan entire industry that devel-oped and refined clean dieseltechnology to what it is today; akey strategy to achieving currentand future energy and climategoals.”The VW scandal came just as

GM is getting ready to launch itsnew Canyon diesel truck. GMspokesman Brian Goebel saidthat he agrees with Schaeffer andthat it is “all systems go” on thelaunch of the diesel Canyon.“People should start seeing

the vehicle on the road in thenext few weeks,” Goebel said.“It’s a good vehicle and I thinkpeople understand that diesel isstill a good technology that canhelp them.”

VW Issues Does Not TaintClean Diesel Technology

Finding better materials tomake vehicles lighter is no easytask. But it’s an important onebecause lightweighting the mate-rials that go into cars is one wayautomakers will use to meet up-coming federal mileage stan-dards.To that end, Ford Motor Com-

pany and Alcoa Inc. are collabo-rating to produce next-genera-tion automotive aluminum alloysthat are more formable and de-sign-friendly, said Fordspokesman Mike Levine.Ford will use Alcoa’s Micromill

material in multiple componentson the 2016 F-150 – becoming thefirst automaker to use the ad-vanced automotive aluminumcommercially, Levine said. Thecompanies entered into a jointdevelopment agreement to col-laborate on next-generation alu-minum alloys for automotiveparts using Micromill technolo-gy.

‘‘Light-weighting enables us todesign vehicles with great cus-tomer attributes – like the F-150,which can tow more, haul more,accelerate quicker and stopfaster than the previous F-150,

and is more fuel-efficient thanever,” said Raj Nair, Ford groupvice president and chief techni-cal officer, Global Product Devel-

• 1925-1930 – Early Chryslervehicles provided style and pow-er, but were also affordable,which contributed to the brand’srapid success. Early models werenamed after their top speed: theChrysler 58 had a top speed of 58miles per hour (mph); a Chrysler72 could go a max 72 mph and soon. In 1926, Chrysler introduceda more powerful and costly Impe-rial model, giving Chrysler a re-sponse to Cadillac, Packard andPeerless. The Imperials offeredprestige as a top-of-the-lineChrysler. Chrysler production inthe late 1920s focused on bothfour- and six-cylinder poweredvehicles.• 1930s – This decade brought

the Great Depression in the Unit-ed States and technology tookhold in the automotive industry.Beginning in 1931, Chrysler intro-duced a number of engineeringfeats. Chrysler took “FloatingPower,” a two-point mountingsystem strategically placed sothe engine’s natural rocking axiswould intersect with its center ofgravity, keeping the engine’s nat-ural vibration from reaching theframe and body, and improved itwith rubber engine mounts,which further reduced engine vi-bration in the body.The most groundbreaking ve-

hicle from the 1930s was theChrysler Airflow, Grahm said.Carl Breer was inspired by asquadron of Army Air Corpsplanes flying overhead in the late‘20s. Chrysler constructed awind tunnel at their HighlandPark headquarters during the de-velopment of the Airflow. As thedesign team developed early pro-totypes, they learned about aero-dynamics as they worked. Theybuilt at least 10 full-size semi-streamliners during develop-ment. Wind tunnel testing in-spired the modified teardropshape. The body sported a short,curved nose with faired-in head-lamps, and the engine sat 20inches farther back than wasnormal for the time.Chrysler shocked the industry

with a vehicle that representedfuture design and engineering ad-vances when it introduced theChrysler Airflow in 1934. The Air-flow was an “engineer’s” car withimpressive innovations at thetime. A beam-and-truss body

gave great strength but weighedless than expected, through atighter interlocking method ofblending body and chassis. Bodypanels extended below the frameand all passengers sat within thewheelbase. The engine reachedpast the front axle, enabling asmooth ride to rear-seat passen-gers. Automatic overdrive was in-troduced with both the Chryslerand DeSoto Airflows. For maxi-mum passenger comfort, the Air-flow seats were stretched to 50inches, widest in the industry.• 1940s – Walter P. Chrysler,

founder of the company and thebrand, died in August 1940.The early 1940s saw the devel-

opment of the “Vacamatic,” afour-speed gearbox with tworanges. The driver used theclutch in the normal way by se-lecting either a Low (1-2) or High(3-4) range.Chrysler, like many automak-

ers, geared up for war produc-tion after the start of the 1942model year and halted civilianproduction of automobiles inFebruary 1942. Among the betterknown of Chrysler’s World War IIproducts were the M-4 Shermantank, “Sea Mule” marine tugs,Harbor Utility Tugs (HUTs) andChrysler-Bell air raid sirens.The late 1940s saw the wood-

bodied Town & Country sedansand the graceful and beautifulTown & Country convertiblesdraw the interest of celebrities,which began to spark interest inthe full line of Chrysler vehicles.• 1950s – 1951 was the birth of

what would be one of the mostrecognized, powerful engines inthe automotive industry, thehemispheric-head V8 engine, oth-erwise known as the Hemi. Initial-ly installed in the ChryslerSaratoga, New Yorker and Imperi-al, the Hemi operated with excep-tional volumetric efficiency anddelivered truly thrilling perform-ance for its day. The engine’s low-er compression ratio also let theHemi run on lower octane fuelthan most V8s at the time.In 1955, the first muscle car,

the Chrysler 300, was intro-duced. The hardtop contained a300-horsepower Hemi V8 withsolid valve lifters and dual four-barrel carburetors, the mostpowerful full-size car in theworld, Grahm said.Virgil Exner took over Chrysler

design in the early 1950s, with

his “Forward Look” styling de-buting in 1955. Exner’s newstyling language featured a flathood, light, airy roof and tailfins.In 1957, Chrysler Corporation’s

entire line of cars was awardedMotor Trend’s “Car of the Year”award, and Exner and his team

received the Gold Medal from theIndustrial Design Institute.1957 saw the introduction of

torsion-bar front suspension,which delivered superior han-dling and allowed for much lowerbodies. Chrysler also introducedthe first rear-window defogger.

ronment Minister Segolene Royalon Sept. 24 announced randomtests of about 100 French cars toensure that their engines meetpollution standards in the wakeof Volkswagen’s emissions scan-dal.And the European Union’s ex-

ecutive Commission called onnational authorities “to look intothe implications for vehiclessold in Europe and ensure thatEU pollutant emission standardsare scrupulously respected.’’Olaf Lies, economy and trans-

port minister of VW’s home stateLower Saxony, which holds a 20percent stake in the company,said the investigation into thescandal was only just starting.“There must be people respon-

sible for allowing the manipula-tion of emission levels to hap-pen,’’ he told rbb-Inforadio.Winterkorn said Sept. 23 he

took responsibility for the “irreg-ularities’’ found by U.S. inspec-tors in VW’s diesel engines, butinsisted he had personally donenothing wrong.Volkswagem is filing a criminal

complaint with German prosecu-tors, seeking to identify thosewho are responsible for any ille-gal actions in connection withthe scandal.

Not wishing to stand on its lau-rels, GMC is coming with a newlook for a new year.The GMC Sierra Elevation Edi-

tion returns for 2016 with thestyling enhancements and otherfeatures new to the entire Sierra1500 lineup – including revisedfront-end styling with new, high-intensity discharge projector-beam headlamps and GMC Signa-ture LED lighting.GM spokesman Brian Goebel

said that latest iteration of theSierra in only a couple of yearsold. But competition in the pick-up truck market is strong, soGMC has refreshed the the vehi-cle.“One of the things that we’ve

been told by our customers isthat a main reason they bought aSierra is because of how its exte-rior looks,” Goebel said. “Sowe’ve made some changes as away of giving customer some-thing new. These changes retainthat premium look that our buy-ers appreciate. We’ve changedthe grill and have more differenti-ation between trim levels. Andwe’ve come up with the Eleva-tion Edition.”The Elevation Edition – avail-

able on Sierra double cab – has a“street-smart” stance, thanks tobody-color moldings, door han-dles, mirror caps and a body-col-or grille surround, as well asbody-color bumpers, saidGoebel. It also rolls on 20-inchblack-painted aluminum wheelsand is further enhanced withnew Elevation Edition badging.“The Sierra Elevation Edition

offers a boldly styled pickup forcustomers who want a truck thatlooks as good as it performs,”said Duncan Aldred, U.S. vicepresident, Buick and GMC. “Withits muscular design details, in-herent truck capabilities and pre-mium technology features such

as Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto capability, Sierra Elevationimproves on an already compre-hensive package.”Inside Sierra Elevation Edition,

the latest technology helps driv-ers stay connected at all times.A new radio with a 7-inch-

diagonal screen incorporatesCarPlay and Android Auto phoneintegration capability, whichgives drivers the ability to makecalls, send and receive messagesand control music from the In-telliLink touchscreen.Additionally, the vehicle’s On-

Star 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fihotspot allow continuous con-nectivity for up to seven person-al devices.All Sierra Elevation Edition

models include remote keylessentry, remote locking tailgate,outside heated power-adjustablemirrors, a 110-volt AC power out-let, black recovery hooks, a six-speaker audio system and more.A standard 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 en-

gine delivers 285 horsepowerand 305 lb-ft of torque with ahighway fuel economy of 24 mpg.An available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8produces 355 horsepower – andoffers up to 9,400 pounds of trai-lering capacity (2WD). Cus-tomers can choose two- or four-wheel drive and the Eaton lock-ing rear differential is standardwith both.All-terrain tires, a Rear Vision

camera system, trailering equip-ment and XM Radio are availableon all models.The variety of options and

choices for vehicles like the Sier-ra are important, Goebel said, be-cause in the last decade the wayspeople use pickups havechanged. While traditionally awork vehicle, these days buyerslike to be able to use trucks tohaul items and still be able to go

out with friends over the week-end.“That need for flexibility is re-

flected in today’s pickups,”Goebel said.The new GMC Sierra Elevation

Edition goes on sale in the firstquarter of 2016.

It was a four-way battle for the2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Se-ries (NCATS) presented by Mobil1 Championship going into thispast weekend’s Pinty’s 250 atKawartha Speedway.But when the dust settled and

the checkered flag flew to closeout the 2015 season, it was ScottSteckly, driver of the No. 22Canadian Tire Dodge, hoistingthe coveted trophy.Steckly claimed the title over

fellow competitors Jason Hath-away, Andrew Ranger and L.P.Dumoulin, who were all in a four-way fight for the championshipgoing into Sept. 21’s season fi-nale race at the 0.6 km (.375-mile) Ontario track.Steckly, 43, earned the pole

position with a blistering, track-record lap in qualifying at thewheel of his Dodge-bodied racecar.For Steckly, this was his fourth

Series title. He became only the33rd person in the history ofNASCAR to win four or moretouring or national series cham-pionships.As with the majority of the

2015 NCATS competitors, Stecklycrossed the finish line atKawartha Speedway at the wheelof a Dodge Challenger-bodiedracing car.More than half of the races

this season were won by a Dodgedriver, with six of the Top 10 finalpoints positions held by Dodgedrivers.Andrew Ranger, the fan-

The 2016 Cascada – Buick’sfirst convertible offered in theUnited States in 25 years – ispriced at $33,990.When it goes on sale early next

year, the Cascada will offer morestandard content, a more power-ful standard engine and a lowerstarting price than the Audi A3Cabriolet, said said Duncan Al-dred, vice president of Buick.“Cascada expands Buick’s line-

up with a uniquely fun and per-sonal driving experience,” saidAldred. “With a lower price thankey competitors, it also promisesto shake up the segment – andlook good doing it.”The 2016 Cascada – designed

from the ground up as a convert-ible – comes well-equipped in a2+2 configuration, with room forfour adults, Aldred said. Perform-ance is rooted in a 200-horsepow-er turbo engine, backed by a six-speed automatic transmission,with Buick’s sophisticated HiPerStrut front suspension and aWatts Z-link rear suspensionstandard.The Cascada also offers plenty

of storage space, including 13.4cubic feet of cargo room with thetop up and 9.8 cubic feet with thetop down, as well as a 22.4-inch x12.6-inch pass-through from thetrunk to the passenger compart-ment.When the 50/50-split rear seat isfolded, longer items such as skisand wakeboards can be stowedinside.Americans got their first look

at the Cascada at the 2015 NorthAmerican International AutoShow. The vehicle will be avail-able in the spring of 2016. It isbased on the Opel Cascada,which was developed at GM’s In-ternational Technical Develop-

ment Center in Russelsheim, Ger-many, where more than 6,000 en-gineers work on Opel models,said Opel Group CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann.“In Europe, the Cascada has

won over customers and trademedia alike, resulting in numer-ous awards including the Plus XAward in Germany and the Gold-en Steering Wheel in Switzer-

land,” Neumann said. “In Portu-gal, Turbo Magazine named itConvertible of the Year in 2014.”The vehicle will be manufac-

tured in Poland. It is based onGM’s Delta II platform, which isthe company’s current compactcar platform. Other vehicles thatuse the platform include ChevyCruze, the Volt, the Opel Amperaand the Cadillac ELR.

Buick Cascada Set for Spring 2016 Debut

The price has been set for the upcoming 2016 Buick Cascada.

Volkswagen’s emissions-cheat-ing crisis is not expected to putthe brakes on September carsales, said to Edmunds.com in apress release about vehicle salestrends issued on Sept. 25.“Volkswagen’s deception is

dominating headlines, but it isnot keeping shoppers away fromother brands’ showrooms,” saidJessica Caldwell, Edmunds.comdirector of industry analysis. “Itputs the crisis in a little bit ofperspective, since these Volk-swagen diesels don’t constitute avery big share of sales.“It’s also a reminder that buy-

ers won’t disappear from themarket because they suddenlycan’t or don’t want to buy theseaffected cars. They’re willing toturn to other automakers thatwill meet their needs.”Volkswagen admitted to using

a “cheat device” to pass EPAemissions tests for many of itsdiesel-powered vehicles since2009. The crisis involves 11 mil-lion VW vehicles worldwide.Edmunds projects that Volk-

swagen/Audi will be the only ma-jor manufacturer to post year-over-year sales losses in Septem-ber.A 2.0 percent decrease in

VW/Audi sales is expected.Ford and Hyundai/Kia, on the

other hand, are expected to turnin extremely strong Septembersales performances.Edmunds is projecting a 10.1

percent decrease in overall salesfrom August 2015, but a 13.9 per-cent increase from September2014.This will make the September

sales volume the biggest Septem-ber since 2004.“The VW diesel matter has not

affected overall industry sales,”Caldwell said.In fact, many shoppers who

like the spirited performance ofVW diesels and want to take thealt-fuel route may opt for “more

fun-to-drive hybrids and EVs,”Caldwell said.Edmunds counts 44 models

that are offered with diesel-pow-ered engines in the 2015 modelyear. VW and Audi combine toproduce 17 models – or 39 per-cent – of those 44 total models.Other diesel vehicles on the

market include diesel versions ofthe BMW 3 Series, ChevroletCruze and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.Less than 4 percent of cars and

light trucks sold in the U.S. in2014 were diesel-powered, ac-cording to industry statistics.The Diesel Technology Forum,

a Washington, D.C.-area nonprof-it that advocates diesel technolo-gy, said it will not comment onthe VW situation, but still pro-motes clean-diesel technology.

“Nothing has changed the factthat the diesel engine is the mostenergy efficient internal combus-tion engine,” it said in a state-ment. “We are confident that con-sumers will continue to find thenew generation of clean dieselcars, trucks and SUVs as a com-petitive choice to meet their per-sonal transportation needs.”The gap is closing between

gasoline and diesel fuel pumpprices, according to the U.S> En-ergy Information Administration.In its most recent update, the EIAsaid the average price for a regu-lar gallon of unleaded gasoline inAugust stood at $2.64.

Bad News for VW Shouldn’tHurt Total September Sales

“The VW dieselmatter has notaffected overallindustry sales”– Jessica Caldwell,

Edmunds.com

opment. “This collaboration sup-ports our continued drive for in-novation, as we research auto-motive applications for evengreater light-weighting.”

Alcoa’s Micromill technology,announced in December 2014,produces an aluminum alloy thatis 40 percent more formable thantoday’s automotive aluminum,Nair said.

“Alcoa’s breakthrough Mi-cromill technology offers highlydifferentiated automotive materi-al with strength, weight, forma-bility and surface quality combi-nations previously impossible,”said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa chair-man and chief executive officer.“This high-tech aluminum will

give Ford a true material edge en-abling greater design flexibilityand better vehicle performance –making the concept cars of to-morrow a reality.”

The increased formability ofMicromill aluminum makes iteasier to shape into intricateforms, such as the inside panelsof automobile doors and externalfenders, Kleinfeld said. The in-creased material strength allowsfor the use of thinner aluminumsheet without compromisingdent resistance.

Micromill is the fastest, mostproductive aluminum castingand rolling system in the worldcombining multiple technologiesinto a streamlined productionsystem. A traditional rolling milltakes around 20 days to turnmolten metal into coil; Micromilldoes it in just 20 minutes, Klein-feld said.

Ford will begin using Micromillmaterial in 2016 F-150 productionin the fourth quarter of 2015, andplans to increase its use over thenext several years on a range ofvehicle components and futureplatforms, Nair said. It is project-ed Ford’s use of Micromill mate-rial on its vehicles will more thandouble from 2016 to 2017.

Alcoa’s advanced alloys offerFord the formability and strengthrequired for greater flexibility indesigning vehicles using com-plex parts. By using the highlyformable material, parts con-structed of multiple pieces canbe manufactured as a single part– reducing complexity and as-sembly time. Target applicationsfor the material include criticalstrength structural parts as wellas exterior panels that mustmeet strict surface quality re-quirements.

Aluminum alloy produced us-ing the Micromill process has al-ready been validated by Ford en-gineers to ensure it meets thestringent requirements for pro-ducing high-quality parts, espe-cially the kinds of complex struc-tures that make up F-150, Nairsaid.

“The door inner is one of themost difficult parts in automo-tive stamping,” said Peter Fried-man, Ford global manager ofstructures and stamping, Re-search & Advanced Engineering.“The ability to produce an alloyusing Alcoa’s Micromill technolo-gy to make that part is a realstatement for how this processcan benefit the automotive in-dustry and Ford in particular.

“This technology will helpFord to produce the type of vehi-cles our customers want,” addedFriedman. “We believe the tech-nology can be used to developnew alloys that will improve ourability to form complex parts,which will help in both designand efficiency.”

Buick has confirmed the all-new 2017 LaCrosse, with a pre-view of its Avenir concept-in-spired design cues is coming.The new LaCrosse should be a

striking evolution from currentBuick models, said Buick spokes-woman Crystal Wilson. The newLaCrosse features a grille designthat puts a new face on thebrand, including a new, three-col-or tri-shield insignia set on awing-shaped element.Contrasting with darkened wa-

terfall grille bars and spanningthe width of the opening, it con-nects the grille and headlamps,and emphasizes LaCrosse’s newsculptural surfacing, Wilson said.The design was introduced on

theAvenir concept and inspired bythe 1954 Wildcat II concept.It’s a face all Buick models will

adopt by 2018, Wilsons aid.“The Avenir concept shattered

expectations of what a Buickcould be and the 2017 LaCrossepromises to do the same,” saidDuncan Aldred, vice president ofBuick. “Its expressive design rep-resents a break from conventionand highlights the progressive-ness in all new Buick models.”The next-generation LaCrosse’s

design is framed on an all-newchassis that is stronger yet lighter

than the current model and servesas the foundation for a more dy-namic driving experience.

New technologies such as afive-link rear suspension con-tribute to a more responsiveride, while taking Buick’s signa-ture quietness to a new thresh-old – and it’s a premium featurenot found on many other full-sizeluxury models, including theLexus ES.The 2017 LaCrosse debuts in

November at the Los Angeles Au-to Show. Wilson said that more ofthe technical details of the newLaCrosse, including how thechasssis is both lighter andstronger, will be released at theLos Angeles Auto Show.

Glimpse of 2017 LaCrosseLaCrosse will debut in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
