".......Buick:
Lucerne: Fit-finish, nuff' said"
 
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/977231411.html?dids=977231411:977231- 411&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jan+27%2C+2006&author=James+R.+Healey&pub=USA+TODAY- &edition=&startpage=B.3&desc=Lucerne+trumps+those+annoying+Buick+prejudices
 
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.

Well, the interior is even better IMHO. Doesn't even hint at GM....the Buick badge seems out of place.

I think that the Buicks are the best looking cars that GM has to offer. I just have a hard time forgetting the port holes and Dynaflow transmissions. You are a rare breed throw back to the 1950s when brand loyalty was as strong as any loyalty to a sports team is today. I just don't hear much of that anymore.

Wow, the misinformation here is amazing!! Buick no longer uses the Dynaflow transmissions.

Well, there's a trolley on Galveston Island that rides on rails. But it can also rattle the fillings out of your teeth and give you a splitting headache.
 
So riding on rails isn't always a good thing...just depends on the context
