The 2014 Buick LaCrosse 3.6L V6 comes with a price tag of $34,060, but those looking to optimize the car with additional features — including a sophisticated infotainment system — may end up paying more than $40,000 for the ride.

The 2014 Buick LaCrosse is ready to start rolling out into showrooms, and those interested can finally start putting down a number on the check they'll have to write.

General Motors has announced pricing for the updated machine, and it's set to start at $34,060. That price includes the $925 destination and handling charge as well as a handful of premium standard amenities.

For the base price of entry, the LaCrosse comes equipped with IntelliLink connectivity, an eight-inch touch-screen display that can be reconfigured, and the eAssist powertrain to aid in the ever-increasing quest for more miles per gallon. The 2014 LaCrosse is rated to hit around 36 miles per gallon on the highway.

The base price might start under $35,000, but the average transaction price may wind up closer to, if not greater than, $40,000 once the excellent V-6 is chosen. The order sheet can get a might expensive once you start ticking too many boxes. If you do that, you'll wind up paying Cadillac prices for a machine that's, um, not a Cadillac.

Still, it sounds like Buick is planning to stuff the car with a plethora of upscale optional extras that will make the car feel worth the price. The LaCrosse is a handsome machine that has an infotainment system which could make even the youngest outliers of the Buick buyers group rather happy. Pandora radio can be streamed through the cabin, and hands-free features abound. It will be interesting to see if any of that new tech can draw in a younger audience.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
