Replying to: splatsterhound (Apr 04, 2006 2:18 pm) Dont look for any quick corrections in the article. I dont think they really care since it's the Lucerne. Trust me, that review was positive compared to what they used to say about GM products. They have been getting better of late, but their bias is still apparent. Every GM vehicle (and Ford to some extent) is guilty of being crap until proven innocent. To put this in perspective, Karl said in his old forum that he doesnt even like the Vette. If he doesnt like the Vette or any of the Cadillacs, imagine what he thinks of lower vehicles like the Lucerne. Sadly, I suspect a lot of edmunds reviewers feel the same way. The comment about the car being worth about 10K less than it's MSRP says it all. Edmunds doesnt think domestic cars are bad as long as they cost 25% less than a comparable Toyota.

I hate to say it but Edmunds always seems particularly hard on Buicks and GM in general IMO. That said, the Lucerne does also have it's share of deficiencies. 4-speed auto and weak V6 come to mind. In the end GM could do better and Edmunds could look at Buicks a little more objectively.
