It may have lots of nice options and gadgets, but it's basic bones are not in the same class as the CTS, nor will it be nearly as sporty to drive.

No argument here! The LaCrosse surely isn't in the same league. But if I wasn't looking for world class performance, it appears to be a potential alternative (in all wheel drive) to the CTS and doesn't come across as lame.

Yes, different platform, but also a lot of options that the CTS doesn't offer.

I do find that to be very interesting and a bit annoying that GM would offer technology and features on a lower tier vehicle and wouldn't make them available for their "halo" mid-size sedan. Anyway, I do love my car!
