Sedans Buick Lucerne Buick Lucerne: Tell Buick What You Want

You are in the Buick Lucerne Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| What suggestions would you make for improvements on the Lucerne? | |
|
The car is extremly good looking. Three suggetions: 1) Make is smaller (198 inches). 2) Make is lighter 3) Make is more fuel efficient. Also, keep making the split bench seat. |

1) Put the trunk release latch on the door of the driver's side, like it is in the Buick Lesabre (2000 thru 2005). 2) Improve Agility. 3) Improve emergency handling. 4) Improve braking distance. 5) Have a folding rear seat. 6) Have an optional newer V6 engine engine which has better acceleration and fuel economy than the current 3.8 liter engine in the Lucerne. Maybe GM's 3.9 liter or 3.6 liter engines could be used in the Lucerne. 7) The length of the Lucerne (203.2 inches) is perfect. Please do not change it unless you want to increase its length a few more inches. 8) Keep the outside mirrors which can be folded in. 9) Keep the battery under the rear seat as it is in the buick lesabre (2000 thru 2005.) 10) Have a stability control system standard on the Lucerne.

Here's what I'd like to see improved: 1. Put a finished edge on the headliner fabric where it meets the windshield. Actually a heavier fabric would be better too. It would hide some of the lumps and bumps and wrap around curves a little better. 2. Put a SCAN button on the stereo. 3. Make the whole seat leather - the fabric on the sides looks cheap. 4. The front end is very plain. I'm not sure what it needs but something to make it stand out a little. 5. Make fog lights and option on the CXL. 6. Put Michelin tires on it from the factory. Continentals are junk and have to be replaced anyway.

Raise the rubber "air deflector" that extends below the front fender as it scrapes on moderate changes in road surfaces and curb stones when parking. 3. Add Stability Control on all Lucerne models. 4. Widen the front seats. I am more comfortable in the smaller Buick Lacrosse seats as they measure 20 inches wide at the front of the seat and 20 inches at the rear of the seat. My Lucerne is 20" in front but tapers down to 18" at the rear. I chose a Full Size Car for it's ride and large interior volume,and paid more money for it. The seats found in First Class Air provide extra room and are more comfortable than just those in "Coach"with adequate room. Now please don't respond to say the seats are just perfect for you because some did agree with this issue in the Lucerne Interior Messages,and I am sure not one person would refuse first class seats if somehow they could be found in the entire plane!
