Buick, the official vehicle of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, deconstructs the elegance and grace of a figure skater to illustrate how the new Buick Lacrosse shares those characteristics in this spot, developed by Toronto-based MacLaren McCann. Though they may both be things of beauty, we’re not so sure that the Buick can perform as well on ice. When was the last time you saw a four-door sedan do a triple axel?
