LACROSSE: Alloy wheels and heated side-view mirrors are now standard on all models, and Bluetooth phone connectivity is optional. A new LaCrosse is expected for the 2010 model year.

LUCERNE: A new 3.9 liter V6 replaces last year's 3.8. The new V6 produces 227 horsepower -- 30 more than the 3.8 -- along with better fuel economy, and can be run on E85. All Lucernes (CX, CXL and Super) get Bluetooth phone connectivity and new paint color choices, and CX and CXL models get additional standard equipment.

ENCLAVE: The 3.6 liter engine gains direct fuel injection for increased power output and better fuel economy. Bluetooth phone connectivity is now standard.
