Old people don't like exciting. I do like that car, but I suppose I am partial to Buicks.

Well, compared to a, say, Nissan 350Z, you're right, it's not exciting. But its intended market isn't those that have to be "wowed", it's those looking for value for their car buying dollar.

In this part of the country, Lucerne is a brand of dairy products.
Which is appropriate as only fat cows and out to pasture bulls drive Buicks.

Say that to a Grand National owner. 
IMO this Buick is just another GM.

Still can't believe Buick is still around. Our last Century that died to a transmission has sealed its fate with me. The only Buick I would think about is a Regal, but GM's B-Bodies were much better.

Disagree with the "why Buick is still around concept". Buick is really what GM has going for them, besides CHevy.
The Lucernne is UGLY, I see them quite a bit around me. The rear is okay, ripping a lot on teh new Passat and Audi's, but the front, with it's Taurus/500 design is just not good looking at all.
Ofcoarse this is a contour board, we wouldn't like Old People cars that will make it as a rental fleet for sure... wait...

At first i thought someone just spelled lacrosse wrong, but after going to buicks website and seeing more of the car...i don't think it's half bad. The interior looks really nice too. I mean, it's still a buick, i wouldn't mind being seen in it.
And I think cadillac is the best line of cars GM has to offer. Best styling/technology/innovation.

The GN went completly against the grain. I view it as a Chevy in wearing old fart jewlery.
How are you, Shotdiff?
