Reply #2: I think this model was introduced in my city--La Crosse. [View All]

Here is what I discovered about it on Wikipedia:

The original name was inspired by a Buick concept car of the same name shown in 2000 and also used as a reference to the sport of lacrosse, seen as popular with a younger, more active demographic to which Buick sought to market. However, la crosse means masturbation or swindling in Québecois slang, so it is sold as the Buick Allure in Canada.

I never realized that about the name "lacrosse". My city got the name because the early French thought the Indians were playing a game on the prairie here which they thought looked like lacrosse.
