The Los Angeles Auto Show released a statement to confirm the arrival of a new Nissan Sentra and Buick LaCrosse for Los Angeles this year, among many other debuts.
While other automakers are still keeping their cards close with their debuts, Nissan and Buick had no issue to share their plans to launch new models for the 2016 model year.
The current Nissan Sentra has actually been with us for no more than three years, so the 2016 model is likely to be a significant refresh of the current model, similarly to how the new 2016 Nissan Altima was heavily refreshed halfway through its current generational life cycle.
The Buick LaCrosse on the other hand has been with us for quite some time and is old as the people who drive them, so it’s certainly due for a replacement. Details and information about the new LaCrosse aren’t aplenty either, but Buick did tease the model with a picture of the grille a little while ago, also describing the new model to be heavily influenced by the Buick Avenir Concept from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Other debuts are expected from Infiniti, Porsche, Scion, Fiat, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, and Volvo
