I followed a Lucerne CXS the other day. It had round taillights, which I've never seen on any picture of a Lucerne. Are these something new or an aftermarket add-on? They really looked good, but not like the "folded tin-foil" add-ons you see on many Japanese cars.

Grille on the Lucerne is cool, but meybe people are installing it aftermarket, its the exact same as the black plastic (read 'Cheap-o') that is standard, but it is chrome! It loos really Good, like that was the way the car was supposed to look. It goes great with the side portholes and wheels. Its also good to see Nav systems show up in the car. Haven't seen any with this option yet. I think soom what will happen is that the current northstar will be phased out, and the VVT northstar along with the 6 speed will be put in for later models, as GM should be getting a brand new VVT DI (hopefully) Northstar V8 for its RWD applications. Lets hope this new engine will kick MBs 382hp butt

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Jul 05, 2006 6:05 pm) (not because of price, but because I prefer the CX ride characteristics) DO follow Buick's thinking, that as more money is spent on better models of Lucerne ,it WILL be awarded a BLACK(plastic) grille,PERIOD. Now IF a customer wants to mess with what is "STANDARD", GM is ALLOWING a "preference option" to be initiated. I am 59 years old,I remember that not only did the 1956 Buick Century have 3 portholes, BUT the 1956 Buick Roadmasters have FOUR portholes!,AND a Chevy "Biscane"have 2 stoplights, and Impala have FOUR!, AND the Oldsmobile 88 had MUCH LESS CHROME than the MORE expensive Olds. 98,etc. etc,. GM is just giving us THEIR impression about just who spent the MOST bucks on a MODEL of car,and I think that's OK! So I WILL envy the guy who sports the Black Grille because unless HE changes "NORMAL" ,I think that wow, his Lucerne is cost him, much more than mine! It's a Very Old "Game", that was used by ALL of the BIG 3, since I can remember,and even before WW TWO! It helped establish as some might say ,the "Pecking-Order" of things. I enjoy going to vintage car shows at this time of year, and STILL see this stuff all the time, and it helps me figure-out if this "Was this the the cheap model or the expensive one"! The bottom line is,this time, in consideration of people's preferences, if a person orders a new Lucerce tomorrow, Buick WILL ALLOW THEM to have a Chromed(plastic) Grille in most models, and probably in CXS too ,if they work with the dealer! |

Replying to: loyalbuickfan (Jul 05, 2006 8:03 pm) It makes US very annloyed AT your PROSPECTIVE speaking voice and if YOU talked to the DEALER like that then YOU must have gotten a BAD deal. I'm just KIDDING, i hope you got a great deal, its just difficult to read your postings sometimes. I just think what buick is doing is counter intuitive. Chrome should be the higher level models. You know, its like what they did for the last generation DTS, if you got the night vision option (which i think was expensive) then they rewarded you with a grille so cheap it looked like black painted sewege after it was baking in the sun. To be a plastic grille on a car makes the whole thing look cheap, like its unfinished, or an interrior trim piece is stuck outside. I now see all the grilles are plastic, but at least make it LOOK like its metal.

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Jul 06, 2006 7:52 am) I will try to limit use of the"shift" key. But in your last sentence you use capitals for the word LOOK and that's where you would like us to use expression, or raise our voice,Right?
