We'll see if the cars get better.. So far, the new La Crosse might sell well IF the UAW-based wages allow proper pricing.
 
If not, get on the incentive line early!

Specifically, form me, I would not buy any of these cars. Call them CRAPPY or UNAPPEALING.
 
There are just too many other better choices.
 
That includes all BOF SUV's GM makes. The CUV's need to prove themselves and not fall apart. We will see.

Don't you know the UAW is banking on more bailout $$$? Don't blame only management for thinking short term. Obama either recognizes this or he fails at the restructuring of the D3 and the network of failure it created.

Your post is excellent. NONE of the D3 have a small car that appeals to people who want a great premium car that holds it's value because it is a strong brand that delivers precisely what the customer is looking for.

Very satisfied...to leave all of those poor excuses on the dealer lots.
 
Nice synopsis.

".......Buick:
Lucerne: Fit-finish, nuff' said"

If you can get ahold of the whole article, (I can't get it all) he goes on to say that the fit and finish is better than the Avalon.
 
Maybe this is why the Avalon is DOA, and the Lucerne soldiers on.

Healey's article seems to all be there at the source - USA Today.

I love when the guys that need to push boring cars with colorful writing. I'll take the BMW-Buick anytime over the sleepy OLD Lucerne, please. Thank you very much!
 
Get over it Buick...snap it up or die.
 
At least this has some attempt at design in it...considering the evolution of past GM design iterations, this is eons ahead in 1 model year.

GM cars either look bland or from another planet.
 
Shoot, that's how I feel about just about all Asian cars!

I still don't like that trademark grill, kind of ruins the look for me. But overall the car is really nice looking and kudos to GM for being a bit bolder. Hopefully the rest of the car is similarly excellent.
