You have 2 good looking cars, and one weird looking car. Lucerne needs to be phased out.
When is the Regal due to be introduced in the U.S.? Hopefully this will be the last year for the Lucerne.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

What the hell are dealers going to do with Lucernes when they have new Lacrosses sitting next to them on the lots?

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

Lucerne is still a pretty solid car, despite being outclassed by the other two - even the interior was respectable from what I can remember.

The Super grille is strange but otherwise its a nice looking car.

Lucerne may need some help, compared to the new Nissan Maxima and new Acuras it is beautiful!

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

With more resources to throw at Buick once the BK is behind us, I hope we see the Riv. Buick needs a shot of RWD performance.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

The "Lucy" is being phased out, we got the Regal and "Astra" coming within a year or two that will appeal to a slightly younger crowd. I think Buick's going in the right direction. LaCrosse is the pivotal vehicle.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

Whats the point of the Lucerne? The new LaCrosse already replaces it. Note to GM: Kill the fleet queen!

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

[quote=nikivee;1761634]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 Toyota.QUOTE]

The LaX is hot. have you seen it in person?
I hope the last sentance doesn't mean how it sounds.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

The lineup is fine. The Enclave and LaCrosse are amazingly beautiful offerings... The Lucerne will appeal to Buick's traditional buyer. Though I believe they have to speed up the arrival of the Regal.

The Regal and Astra are the cars that are to appeal to the younger buyer. No, not to the teenage buyer... But to the 30-45 crowd.

I would not dismiss a Zeta entry if GM wanted to surprise us with one!

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

"man that Lucerne is only ugly car." your f**ing nuts. The lucerne looks a lot, a lot like the last generation jag x6, especially from the side- just as good! It is a big, traditional-sized buick that harkens back to earlier ones. I get compliments all the time, mostly from younger and college kids. The interior aint up to audi standards, ill give you that. True though, Id rather get compliments from college girls, but women dont know cool cars anyway. They think a mitsubishi lancer or honda is a race car.
