OK, Im not trying to distract from the release of the Lucerne. Still I am spured from a look at the Camaro concept and recent topics where I have questioned wheres the investment for Buick ? Remember the 3 billion ?

I am really happy with the Lacrosse and the Lucerne, Lacrosse needed some time to grow on me but you know, I think excluding its few flaws that we dont need to rebash it is an excellent car for what and where it is, an improved and rebodied mid lux. The Lucerne is very striking, yet sensible and roomy but once again... improved rebody.

Are we going to get one car from these new RWD platforms and suspension technology? One car that really cranks the old head around like a 66 Riviera would have in its day ? One car that says "what do you think about this... BMW ?"

Yea, yea yea, we got Pontiac with the little beeky thingy pointing down the nose and no wood in the interior and devoid of any chrome. I want the Buick thats got the road firmly under its wheels, the power to throw its weight around with, a choice varity of colors and materials and wood and chrome, no holds barred luxury, the American Jaguar, the American BMW, I want that damn flagship back that says "we're got more than sensible safe transportion for all you kids to bust our ageing balls about" I want to look over my shoulder and give the little snot nose rice boys girl a wink at the red light as she stares at the amazing site......just before I smoke his ego on down the road.

I want the advanced modern Buick Riviera !

the real flagship should be coming before 2010.

I think the real flagship will be the next generation Lucerne.

I think that 3 billion when out the door when GM folded Buick into the Pontiac-GMC division.
