2010 Buick LaCrosse Second generation

Arriving as a 2010 model, the new Buick Lacrosse is built upon the mid-size Epsilon II platform, which is also the basis for the Opel Insignia and the 2010 Saab 9-5.

The design was based on 2008 Buick Invicta concept, and replaces both the Chinese and North American models. Buick states that the new LaCrosse will be "America's Lexus fighter".

With the new 2011 Regal and the coming demise of Lucerne, the LaCrosse is no longer seen as Buick's entry-level model, but as its premium sports sedan.

Production of North American models was moved from Oshawa to the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas. Delivery of 2010 year models was delayed a few weeks due to quality concerns.

Audi A3 Marketing

In the Spring of 2005, Audi began a massive alternate reality game to advertise for the A3, known as The Art of the Heist.

In February 2010, the A3 TDI was featured in Audi's "Green Car" Super Bowl spot, which highlighted that model's "2010 Green Car of the Year" designation by Green Car Journal.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox Skepticism of EPA Fuel Economy Ratings

Several road tests have led to skepticism about the front-drive four-cylinder Equinox's EPA fuel economy ratings. After achieving 18.8 mpg-US (8.0 km/l) in a road test, Edmunds InsideLine stated, "...our testing didn't come close to achieving , even though we're usually within 1 mpg of the EPA combined number." Car and Driver recorded another 18 mpg-US (7.7 km/l) figure and noted its "...fuel economy that won’t live up to the 22 mpg-US (9.4 km/l)32 mpg-US (14 km/l) EPA ratings in real-world use..." .

Green Car Reports recorded as much as 25.8 mpg-US (11.0 km/l) on a road trip, driving almost exclusively highway miles in "Eco" mode. This is about 20% below the published highway EPA rating. The Truth About Cars have published an editorial suggesting that GM "inflated" the Equinox's fuel economy ratings for public relations purposes.
