Bottomline The 2009 Buick LaCrosse is a nicely equipped American luxury sedan that comes in two very different flavors. The 2009 Ford Taurus still runs at the head of the class in terms of space, practicality, and safety features, but driving enthusiasts and those wanting to be seen should probably steer clear. The 2008 Toyota Avalon is designed for a cushy, comfortable ride and impressive interior space above all else.
