Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

2/3rds of the lineup is awesome.

I'd bet that within one year, the Enclave and new LaCrosse alone will bring in more retail sales than Buick has seen in 7 or 8 years.

Fewer, better models is the answer....now if we can just clear out the Lucerne.

Love the looks of the new LaCrosse - the interior looks stunning, at least in photos.

The Lucerne desperately needs to be replaced...

The LaCrosse and the Enclave look great. The Lucerne needs to go. The addition of an Invicta or a Regal would be nice.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

And this lineup will attract no young buyers at all like GM hopes. The Lacrosse interior is excellent the exterior is boring as hell. The new Nissan Maxima is a nicer overall car and I hate Nissan.

The "New" GM will have it's work cut out for it to convince anyone under 60 to buy a Buick.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

Hmm...the Lucerne certainly stands apart from the other two, it's probably fortunate no screenshot of the Lucerne interior was included.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

Its a good line up for three vehicles and they look very complimentary to each other. Lacrosse is still a lame name.

I think the Sky/Solstice would be a nice add to change Buick's image a little.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

I hate the whole Buick brand. It needs to appeal to younger people more.

Fortunately, GM already has a replacement that's champing at the bit: the now defunct Pontiac G8. Run it through Ed Welburn's design studios to soften the lines so that the overall design is consistent with Buick's design language, and you've got yourself a credible Lucerne replacement.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

I am not even that impressed with the Enclave anymore.

That LaCrosse on the other hand......Buick needs to get those genes into their other stablemates as quickly as possible!

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

The Lucerne looks out of place.
You have 2 good looking cars, and one weird looking car. Lucerne needs to be phased out.
