Man, if he drove a buick I'd cry. Those are for old fat folks, not Tiger Woods! Tiger should be driving an Aston Martin. yeah, that's more like it.

No, he just advertises for them, and collects his money.

<--------in the Buick business. Yup, all 8 of em a month. :D

GM will kill the Buick soon, I'd guess.

Sounds like he has to drive a Buick part of the time, link

"Woods' contract with Buick does require him to drive the car to the golf course for every tournament. Buick signed Woods in 1999 hoping he could help lower the average age of a Buick owner -- 65 at the time. "

Wow, that's a pretty old average age.

Maybe so, but I would bet his personal vehicle is a Cadillac Escalade with 22" "rims"! LOL

The Lucerne is actually pretty nice for the price IMHO.

If I had his money, it'd be a McLaren at the McD's drive thru. That would be so sweet!

It is a Milk brand, but not exclusive to Albertsons. I always thought it was Safeway, but it's probably an independent company.

The Lucerne and Lacrosse are both good vehicles.

The Lacrosse even garnered a "recommended vehicle" from the foreign friendly Consumers Reports.

The irony here is that Buicks were the original American sports cars (100 years ago :p ). Today, however, Buicks aren't much different than say a Camry. If you want a bland, boring, reliable car, and don't care about driving and just want to get from A to B, then a Buick would a decent choice, I suppose. Definitely not to my taste though.

Only if he's an idiot. The guy is a multi-millionaire. Nobody with that much money drives a freaking Buick.

Actually, there are a lot of old people, who have lots of money, that drive Buicks.
