Replying to: minarets1 (Jan 01, 2006 9:12 pm) I took a look at the Lucerne at my local dealer. Everyone was right, the exterior looks much better in person. The dealer only had a base CX with cloth and a column shifter. I bet a CXL V8 or CXS would be much nicer looking inside. The basic shape of the car is really nice. I would love to see one with that Glacier Blue they show on the Lucerne page off of buick.com I think these Acceleration numbers are for mere bragging rights. My LS430 supposedly does 0-60 in around 5.8-6.3 seconds. I don't think I've ever needed to floor the gas pedal or drag race someone. My older LS400 has 250 HP and that is more than adequate. I can't wait for the 6 Speed Auto though. Mated to the Northstar that really ought to be something.. Sam

The 3800 engine is tried and true. It has been around for eons, and I would be sad to see it go. 197 horsepower seems a trifle short, but they hopefully will boost that number a little, maybe to 220.
