    2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist doesn't waste gas by running in place
    Remember, eAssist is the 2nd generation of GM's BAS mild-hybrid system.

    Hmm... other hybrids have been doing this for how long? Supposedly VW and Fiat had start/stop systems as early as in the 80s...

    Any idea what they got the previous year's non eAssist version?

    What? Nice reach there. Perhaps it time for GM to introduce their new brand, Bion.
