Yep that's a Buick pictured above. As a throwback to the classic Buick's of the 50's and early 60's, Buick resurrected the side vents or port holes on the front fenders. The more holes back then meant the more money you spent as there were three and four port hole models. These non-functional adornments on the Lacrosse pictured signify that it has a V-8, and after doing some research I was surprised to learn that this car will do 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. If you're keeping tabs that puts it in Subaru WRX territory which is pretty impressive for a heavy, front-drive luxury-tourer.
On a more solemn note, the average age of a Buick owner is 68 years of age. So I suppose instead of the old-timers complaining about kids and their loud cars, they'll simply fixate their bi-focals on those fender-mounted devices and stare in admiration. Score one for gramps!!
