When the 2010 Buick Lacrosse debuted in the Detroit Auto Show last January 2009, the concept car has made a lot of noise and promise because of its amazing aesthetics. Half a year later, General Motors has finally went into a more detailed unveiling of the car through an online presentation that revealed the model will not come with the standart 3.0L and 6.0L V6 engines, but also the brand new Ecotec 2.4L V4 direct-injection engine.

So then it was confirmed that Larosse lineup will come with direct-injection fuel technology. According to Tom Stephens, the vice chairman for Global Product Development, the application of direct-injection technology is General Motor’s game plan to employ advanced technology to come up with cars that are highly fuel-efficient.

Stephens added that the company is adapting more and more technology to expand the sources of energy for automobiles and to increase their cars’ fuel efficiency.
