Let's look at Buick now.

So what's your take on the new Buick products? I'm talking LaCrosse and Lucerne.

Looks like the Lucerne is a step in the right direction. Styling has been updated but the front looks a bit funky. It comes with the NorthStar V8 if you like. Looks OK.

The LaCrosse is OK too.

LaCrosse looks like it could have been called LeSabre or Park Avenue... doesn't really matter because they all look the same.

Yes it does but the interior is different.

I wouldnt buy the Lucerne because of the name. THe first thing i think of when i see that name are the dairy products from Safeway. didnt anybody at GM think of that when the car was being named? so to anser your quesiton, no GM cant do anything right.

I think there is no room in the GM lineup for Buick.

LENO's car is a perfect example of an awesome buick. All the recent years Buicks are garbage.

LOL!
I was just trying to give them a chance. It looks like they actually took the body of the late Olds Aurora and put some new headlights and grille on it. It looks very similar.

I think there is a place between Chevy and Cadillac if they do it right.

GM is slowly moving in the right direction. its not easy with that many cars to change each and every one.

also, you have complete ANTI domestic ppl on this board, the car could cost $1K brand new, 10/10 warranty, with the reliability of 5 years, and the quality of MB, but if it said Chevy, people would piss on it.

I saw a black one on the road the other day. Certainly a pleasant looking car. Conservative styling, yet not completely bland. It just carries a Buick name...which unfortunately very few people under the age of 50 would want to admit they drive.

Park Avenue is being replaced by Lucerne
