I picked up a few new car catalogues at Buick last week. Naturally the
05 Park Avenue catalogue is similar to the 2000 - 2004 catalogues with the same dark, blurry, cropped and extremely close up photographs that do nothing to impress me of a car that I may be interested in purchasing. Do we really need to have a camera zoom in 1 inch from the side of the seat showing the stitching. NO.Show me a full width photo of the backend sporting the new taillight assembly.
The LaCrosse, being a new model car has a better selection of photo's. But there are some clinkers in there too.
Two things I read in the LaCrosse catalogue indicate a new die cast aluminum intake manifold for the 3800 engine and
High Intensity Halogen Headlights:
LaCrosse also uses a four bulb burn configuration, with two high beam lamps and two high intensity halogen low beam lamps coming on whenever the high beams are turned on.The result is greater nightime visibility imediately ahad of LaCrosse and bright uniform illumination further down the road. ( quote from the Catalogue ).
Seems like the old technology is coming back. Why GM knocked the low beams off in the 90's when the high beams were on, is beyond me.
