HEAD STOPPER

[Lucerne06]

I owned Buick's all my life. Always traded them in for new models every two or three years. Recently I moved on to something else when they did away with the LeSabre. Went to the Buick garage last week to have "Auto Butler" applied to my present car TCH and the service person took me to work in a new Lacrosse. I was shocked trying to enter the car. I practically knocked my head off on the roof because it was so extremely low. If this is what Buick classifies as their big car then I shall never own another Buick. Getting out was just as hard without knocking off the top of my head. Rise the roof level so people can enter and exit the car without a headache!

yeah, the ingress and egress of the Lacrosse leaves much to be desired. I'm 5'10" but it still is an issue for me.

I'm not even sure it is a roof height issue, there are lower cars out there that I don't have the same trouble getting into and out of....

Maybe it is how steep the windshield rake is compared to the location of the seat.

This problem has shown on all cars today and for the most part I have settled to the fact that SUV's are the only thing for me that fit big men.

I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2012 and it has the largest opening doors I have ever seen on a car; tall and wide and open real wide. It has more front seat space than my old Lucerne and it was really big.

Two problems with this.

1) While it is big for many, I have tried the latest version of Camry and while roomy to a point, it is not for tall people as once I got the front seat so that I was comfortable, no one could sit behind me and I really do not like sitting partially reclined.

2) I support American jobs first before anything else and will buy from GM and Ford as long as they exist to support our country.

So Toyota will always loose out.

Car packaging really hasn't improved much. Greenhouse tumblehome & windshield rake, in the name of aero, has really reached an extreme, and it does impede entry/exit on the bulk of modern cars. This surprises me, because cars have only gotten taller on average in the last 20 years. I thought we were onto something common sensical when the doors used to curve into the roof some, but that's been abandoned.

While I know they did it to stream line the auto's for MPG, I will say I miss the lip that used to keep water from coming off the car into the door way.

My 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid was made in Georgetown, Kentucky USA!!!

As an owner of a 2013 LaCrosse... amen. I have to be very careful getting in and out of the LaCrosse...

I think the Camry has the highest percentage of American made parts of any car sold in the USA.

I think it is the Avalon, but that may have changed at the last model change over.

Yes, plenty of American jobs with Toyota..a cousin of mine worked for them for 25 years in Kentucky.

Profits and engineering jobs still go back to corp headquarters in Japan.
