Is the dash of the Lucerne the same one as the DTS? Somehow it looks like a recycled dash.
 
As for the seats, I've never been fond of bench seats. I've been driving BMW now for 10 years and I think they have the best seats in the industry. Although I have to say that Audi has been making an amazing car with the A4 and A6 lately. The Lexus IS 350 has also made a finely crafted interior. The Lexus is an amazing performance car- but BMW will always be the ultimate driving machine- from the seats to the motor. If it's not too late, GM needs to stop badging cars, stop recycling engines (they put the corvette engine into numerous cars), build better interiors, stop making cheap horsepowered cars, bump up Cadillacs performance so it can compete with Lexus and BMW and lastly supply dealers with cars to meet public demand on the Solstice. No offense- but GM will never compete with Lexus and BMW.

"bump up Cadillacs performance so it can compete with Lexus and BMW "
 
What is wrong with Cadillac's performance? Horsepower wise they are very strong, and their driving dynamics are good too. They offer the euro features at a cheaper price. As for Lexus, they have never been performance cars so Cadillac is hardly a competitor. They dont even have a performance division like AMG or M. If anyone needs to focus on performance, it is Lexus.
 
And about interiors, you probably havent looked at a GM car recently. Very few GM cars now have cheap looking interiors. Most are pretty good.

Cadillac's current performance offerings leave Lexus in the dust. Cadillac has always had a car with more performance than a rebadged Lexus.

Looked at a 2003, or 04, CTS and interior did not look very rich to me. The seats were not comfortable, and the steering wheel did not telescope. The Mazda3 is superior to the CTS in that respect, and is about half the price. And that car was said to be a fully loaded one by the salesman. I asked about the lack of lumbar support and telescopic steering wheel in such a car, and he stated that this was an entry level Cadillac. Hummm? Maybe the '05 is better? Are they new to building cars? Thought the company was around a 100 years old. Oh well, to live is not always to learn.

The current CTS does have lumbar control. The early CTS's did not. The seats are said, by owners, to be comfortable. Not everyone likes the same thing however. Otherwise there would only be one car.

Drove my brother's Buick Roadmaster tonight. The seats in that car seem to be no wider than what I have in the CXS. I just don't buy the complaints about the seats in the Lucerne. There aren't many people bigger than me, and these seats are extremely comfortable. I have the 5 passenger seating arrangment, but I can't believe the bench seat would have less room.

Everybody perceives and fits differetly in seats. That is why there are about 15 people on set rides.

We are both on the "same page" and I agree.
 
Now if we can get get Buick to listen.
 
I guess the seat sub-contractor thinks ALL people over 55 have
the same measurements as when they were 25!

I reread your message and it it gratifying to see you agree
that the Lucerne seats "ARE A BIT TIGHT".
 
I have written several E-mails to a Buick Executive, and I have been assured of a response.
 
Production changes can only occur gradually and often are iniatied by CUSTOMER feedback. Ultimately it can make for a better product.
 
As an owner of ONLY buicks (except 1 Chevy) since I was a kid I do not want to see this car go away as the Oldsmobile did!
 
Improve the car,and attract a younger audience, but don't forget your loyal REPEAT customers who brought you to the position of : #1 in Full size car sales (Lesabre/Park Ave.)for the last several years.
