2000 Buick LaCrosse Concept

The standard configuration is a closed sedan with a large tinted-glass sunroof that can be opened for star gazing or extra ventilation. In response to a voice command, LaCrosse’s sunroof retracts and a single assembly that combines the back window and trunk lid slides forward to convert the trunk into an open cargo bay. Another voice command switches the rear seat into an additional load floor.
