The new Buick Lacrosse and Regal have made waves with their attractive design and overall build quality since their arrival in showrooms, but soon they’ll also be recognized for stellar fuel economy. General Motors is bringing back its mild hybrid technology next year, beginning with the 2012 Buick LaCrosse sedan on which it will be standard for the four-cylinder model.
