Buick LaCrosse General future

Buick may mean quiet elegance to most folks, but things promise to get
pretty noisy at General Motors' entry-level luxury division later this year
with the introduction of two nifty new models – the Enclave and the
LaCrosse Super.
The Enclave is an all-new luxury crossover and the LaCrosse Super will be
an upscale version of Buick's intermediate car. Super is, of course, the
Buick series name that for years denoted a top-of-the-line luxury car that
was second only to the vaunted Roadmaster in terms of creature comforts.
Meanwhile, Buick's ushering in its 2007 model line with some cosmetic
changes, trim adjustments and options enhancements.
The LaCrosse, Buick's increasingly popular mid-sized family car gets new,
sportier cluster graphics with red pointer gauges, Harvest Burl wood trim,
a steering wheel with Buick's tri-shield emblem, and two new choices of
cloth seat fabric – gray and neutral. Four new exterior colors also have
been added: Stone Grey Metallic, Midnight Amethyst, Midnight Blue Metallic
and Red jewel Metallic. Power comes from a 200 horsepower V-6 for the CX
and CXL models and a 240 horsepower V-6 for the V-6.

I called my local dealer to confirm it, but he said he didn't know anything about it. I asked him to check around and call me back when he heard anything. He called me back about an hour later and said he talked with the local Buick factory rep. The rep said yes, it's all true. Apparently Pontiac is dropping the Grand Prix GXP due to poor sales and the 2008 LaCrosse Super will be getting the same 5.3 small block engine currently available in the Impala SS and Monte Carlo SS. Of course, the LaCrosse Super will have the same suspension and heavy duty transmission as the Pontiac and Chevies. I can't wait to test drive one.
Have you seen it? The epsilon?
The GXP is still listed in the 2008 on-line order guide from GM.

No doubt the V8 will be more powerful but not very sophisticated/modern.

While quality at GM has certainly improved, and thus, blurring the lines a bit, a V8 is what Buick needs to get some attention from the public. Will it set sales records at Buick? No. But what it will do is get customers to look at Buick when they normally would not.
Personally, I kind of like the idea of having a vault-like quiet ride in a well assembled car with 300HP on tap to remind the import humper in his Lexus that Buick is still Boss. (especially in China....don't see too many Lexus cars there.)

The salesperson also told me that the head of the dealership said that I should wait for the new and improved LaCrosse that will be out in October, 2008. Everything I have read says the new LaCrosse will be out in Spring, 2009. Can anyone shed any light on this?? We want to buy a new car but we could probably wait six months. Waiting until Spring, 2009 is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any input.
That said. Check out the Invicta concept which will be very close to the production LaCrosse next Spring. If you ride is not falling apart. It may be best to wait another year.
