The Buick LaCrosse is a mid-size sedan produced by General Motors and sold under the Buick brand. The LaCrosse, only available as a four-door sedan, replaced the Buick Century and Regal in North America beginning in the 2005 model year.

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".

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 NAIAS, and at the 2009 Montreal International Auto Show as the Buick Allure. The Chinese version was shown at Auto Shanghai in April 2009.

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

Soon after production had begun, General Motors Canada renamed the Allure to LaCrosse, to correspond with the car's global marketing. GM Canada has offered existing Allure owners the option to change nameplates to LaCrosse.

The 2010 Lacrosse will be sold in Mexico starting in October, as the Buick brand returns to the country after 13 years of absence.
