Walking the line between not alienating the traditional "older" buyers and getting younger upscale buyers. And when I say younger I am talking established 40-50 year olds. That is where the money is. GM has plenty of other products for the 30 year olds. All of Buicks products now are on the money for the 40 year olds. the issue is the BUICK stigma of ancient owners. As I said before Bucik did a great job of doing what they were supposed to do in the 90's. Develop and sell cars to folks in their 50's, 60's and 70's. So good that now they are looked at as cars for old folks and as those actual buyers got older the average age of the Buick consumer also fot older.

This is a repost of an earlier comment about the seats in the Lucerne. My "bucket", at 5-11 and and a little heavy, simply does not fit well in the CXS bucket seats. They are not nearly as comfortable and supportive as the seats in my '03 Avalon. However, the bench seat in the CXL is great! Feels very nice, no problem at all. Anyone thinking Lucerne needs to check out the seat types carefully and then make an informed choice. They are very different... at least to me. Also, at the rate Lucerne is changing... price drops, additional things, etc., it is almost a game as to when to buy one. What's up for next week? This needs to settle down a bit to keep everybody happy. Again, the car is on my list and all information posted here is appreciated. |

I started the seat discussion thing. I love the car but hate the seats. I am a big guy but am PERFECTLY comfortable in my Park Ave. OR the New Buick Lacrosse. The issue here is not only about less width but also the SHAPE of the seat.The seat in the Lucerne is "Horseshoe-shaped". It DOES START OUT at 20" in the FRONT but TAPERS DOWN to 18" in the BACK. SO one can find himself sitting on plastic SEAT FRAMES rather than SEAT! Again the Lacrosse seats MEASURE 20" in the FRONT AND BACK and my PARK AVE MEASURES 21"FRONT AND BACK. I KNOW that the seat IS comfortable for you and the majority. I always associated LARGE cars with LARGE interior dimensions. The SEATING SURFACE of this car IS NOT AS LARGE as was in the car it replaced. The Yardstick can't lie. |

Replying to: suisun_sue (Mar 27, 2006 6:24 pm) Again I said (IF you read ALL my postings)the seats in the Lacrosse are just fine for me. I prefer the ride in the LUCERNE and WANT to pay more for a FULL-SIZE car. Perhaps Buick should have choosen the same company who made seats for Lacrosse to design seats for Lucerne. Instead you say" Just DON'T buy the car". This forum wants opinions,but I decline to follow yours!....... |
