    DailyTech - 2012 Buick LaCrosse Sedan to Top 37mpg With eAssist
    2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist achieves up to 37 mpg highway — Autoblog

    Apparently, this is the next generation of BAS hybrids. Let's see if they fare better than GM's previous BAS attempts.

    Only thing is that Buick accounts for a tiny portion of GM US sales. (example sales chart at Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac October Total and Retail Sales Increase 13 Percent -- DETROIT, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --)

    I cant believe they are making this their "base" engine with such trunk. Not to mention they have such troubles with packaging mild-hybrid with 0.5kw lion battery.

    Doesn't look too bad. At least it's squared off and there's a shelf on the left side. Do the rear seats fold?
