Bottomline The 2009 Buick LaCrosse is a nicely equipped American luxury sedan that comes in two very different flavors. A great choice for older drivers, the 2008 Ford Taurus excels on its size, safety gear, and large instrumentation, but falls behind the Honda Accord in driving excitement. The 2008 Toyota Avalon is designed for a cushy, comfortable ride and impressive interior space above all else.
