I love it! I wish they would have kept the opera lamp on the c-pillar though. I can't wait to see it in other colors and the CXS version.

So they can work out the bugs. Gotta keep that Buick quality!

Yep. We ask for a tilt/telescope wheel and they give us a heated wheel. I just don't understand these people. And still no navi in the Lacrosse.

I just saw an Aura convoy today here in Milwaukee by the airport...very strange. There were probably 8-10 of them in a row being escorted by the police. They all had Michigan manufacturer plates on them. I was shocked at first, but quickly pulled along the side of them to check them out. I must say, not being much of a Saturn fan, these cars had a classy, crisp, clean look to them...they'll do well for sure. I thought the sides really looked good...like it had a classy upscale look. Anybody have any idea what they were doing here? And I noticed one with the saddle interior...it really stood out!

That fender repeater lamp assembly looks like it could be popped out and replaced with the Lucerne's portholes. Could this really be the foundation for the next big Buick?

I don't think it'll fit in the w-body, but I heard it might get GM's new 3-speed auto.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very early 2008. Perhaps '08 Lacrosse production will begin in early '07 so Buick can get a full two or three years out of the improvements. Remember the '97 Lesabre refresh? It came out so early in '96 that they legally couldn't even sell them! I'm really looking forward to seeing this car. Maybe it'll be my first new car in over seven years! Now one has to wonder if there will be a Lucerne Super. How can the top-of-the-line car have a 275hp V-8 while the little Lacrosse has 303hp?

What's the point of having it there if it's just going to be covered up? Are they ever going to show it?

And no more tuxedo blue/shale interior. Stupid

Have you seen a LaCrosse with the spoiler? It does wonders for that cars plain rear design.

I'd say because of quality. The 6-speed is new and will have a few bugs at first. Buick and Caddy score on the top of quality and Pontiac scores on the bottom...let Pontiac have it first.

Are you calling me a liar?

No S*H*I*T. Now I know you''ll have a hard time doing this, but think really hard about what you just said.

Well guess what buddy...I did in fact spend time in an Avalon. And the motor was in fact noisy. Maybe it had a bad motor.

I recently drove a new Avalon and was completly blown away. I was blown away by how crappy it was...seriously. The suspension was really clunky like a '90 Pontiac Grand Prix with worn struts, and it didn't ride very well either. The Lacrosse I rented was light years ahead in terms of ride quality and just overall solid feel. I'll admit that the V-6 performed very nicely in the Avalon and was fun to rev, but it was quite noisy. It seemed there was little sound insulation and the engine was very "ticky" sounding like an old Oldsmobile V-8 with noisy lifters. The interior absolutley sucked ass with it's poor fit and finish and really nasty materials. The '80's style controls were just really messed up...I was shocked that the climate controls were on both sides of the radio. Just more media bull$h! guys, they control EVERYTHING! They market crappy cars just like they market our crappy president...it's all a freakin' joke.

What a stupid article. Buick was founded by William Durant?

You Range Rover lovers need your heads examined. They are UGLY inside and out. And the driving position is all f**ked up...at least the ones I drove.

Can I ask what you're paying and what the lease terms are? I've been wanting a Lacrosse for a while know, but can't get myself to spend the money.

Sounds like they're going to use the Caddy wheel. Want to bet it'll get the power tilt/telescope? Now if they would just offer the blue interior that the DTS has.

All it takes is for a door to be slightly off in adjustment to have a loose door seal, and then a wind leak. I'd say test another one. The Lacrosse I rented was so quiet I was afraid I'd fall asleep.

I would really appreciate that. I see you have three of these monsters. Mine has 120,000 miles, but the car is very solid. Are there any problems I should look out for on these? I'm wondering about tie rods and stuff like that.

I just bought a '95 Roadmaster Estate wagon with the "SE" package. I need to know if a '94 Park Ave remote would work with this car. I don't have any remotes for the wagon now, but I do know it came with the "SE" package. And, how do you program it? Thanks for any help!

I'm considering buying a '91-'96 Roadmaster wagon or Caprice wagon. I just found a '95 Roadmaster wagon with 120,000 miles that's on sale at a used car lot for $2,995. It's blue with gray cloth and NO woodgrain . Both the body and interior are very clean for the year. What do you guys think? Are there any things I should look at when I test drive it?

I guess you have never seen the Lucerne in the goldflash white pearl? It is truly stunning in that color, and is worth every penny. The reason for the expense is because it's a three stage paint with pearl. So, not only is it one extra stage to go through at the factory, but the paint is very, very, very expensive. It's also a more difficult paint to spray. I've been in the repair business for a long time, so I know of all the extra work and cost that goes into one of these paint jobs. Be thankful that Buick is at least willing to go through the trouble to offer it.
