Trim levels for the C-Class include the C300 Sport, C300 Luxury and C350 Sport. Small, stately.

Move over, grandma; LaCrosse a family-friendly sedan for new generation

As I get older, it's getting harder and harder to surprise me, so Buick deserves a golf-clap-style round of applause for accomplishing this difficult task. This car is a game-changer for Buick.
