Buick Allure

The Buick LaCrosse is a Buick automobile model introduced in the United States for the 2005 model year. It is a mid-size sedan and replaces the previous Buick Century and Buick Regal models. It uses an updated version of the GM W platform, featuring a V6 engine and front wheel drive, rather than a planned stretched GM Epsilon platform. The LaCrosse features a GM 4T65-E transmission and a 3.8 L 3800 V6 as well as a 3.6 L HFV6 V6.

In Canada, however, the car is called the Allure. News reports indicated that General Motors had to scrap the name LaCrosse for the Canadian market after discovering it was teenage slang for masturbation in French-speaking Quebec (ironically, the car, badged either way, is manufactured in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada). Also, the Allure name is reportedly a tribute to another GM sedan, the discontinued Oldsmobile Intrigue; both "allure" and "intrigue" basically have the same meaning.
