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.
I've always thought the Lucerne was a nice-looking car. My coworker has a CXL model that I've been eying for a few months.

Sure, the interior needs work, but the exterior isn't too bad.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

The 2010 LaCrosse should be renamed "Invicta" or "LeSabre" and become Buick's flagship sedan. The Lucerne should be discontinued immediately. An Insignia based Regal should be introduced early next year.

Buick sure has come a long way. I bet you will see the younger generation taking a serious look at Buick

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.
Well said ...

that new Buick Lacrosse CSX is sharp and at 33,800 dollars well equipped too..

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

I don't know why everyone bashes on the poor Lucerne.

Apparently, they're selling well enough to stay in the lineup. While it's now outclassed by the new Lacrosse, the Lucerne is not an ugly car. It looks so much better in person, and is a highway cruiser, like the old Lesabre/Park Avenue.

Besides, the older-set will still buy it. Having both the new Lacrosse and old Lucerne in the lineup would appeal to both demographics. While you want to gain new customers, you don't want to lose the old ones.

C'mon GM just give us a good Lucerne replacement.

Buick can survive and thrive on 3 vehicles. It did it before!

You won't have to hate it for long. This time next year we'll be looking at one lame-duck model here, too.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

I like the Lacrosse (should have used the Invicta name) but will it bring in buyers under 60? I don't doubt it can compete with a Lexus ES350, but will Lexus buyers even know it exists?

Re: Meet Your 2010 Buick Lineup

I thought the Enclave (and other Lambda models) were suppose to recieve an interior MCE? Or is that on hold or not happneing? I also wish you could get the enclave with no wood!
