2006 Buick Lucerne: Return of the V8

The revered Buick Park Avenue is no all the more, having been supplanted by the all new Buick Lucerne, a down market adaptation of the Cadillac DTS. With a 275-hp Northstar V8 motor, the Lucerne turns into the primary Buick auto in about ten years to arrive furnished with a V8. The whole Buick line up is being redesignd, so we should investigate this current make's most up to date lead and perceive how it has influence in GM's general system.

On the off chance that you are a devotee of the Buick mark you have seen what's coming to you of changes in the course of recent years. Gone are the Park Avenue, LeSabre, Century, and Regal, and in its place are the Rendezvous, the Rainier, LaCrosse, Terrazza, and the Lucerne. Every one of the progressions are the aftereffect of General Motors' wide realignment procedure in the wake of resigning the Oldsmobile mark, lifting Saturn into the overlap, and setting system to go up against the constant assault of remote brands including Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and Infiniti.



One take a gander at the Buick and you will see a solid similarity to the Cadillac DTS. The Buick's oval grille separates it from the Cadillac's firm nose, however a superficial examination of the body lines lets you know that these autos are in reality twins. Before, Buicks were basically "stripped down" variants of Cadillacs, while Oldsmobile and Pontiac were more sumptuous or sportier renditions of Chevrolet models. Obviously, GM is repositioning Buick to have a more unmistakable "close extravagance" look without venturing on Cadillac's toes, while giving the Buick division a truly necessary trade for the maturing Park Avenue.

For the auto customer, the Lucerne is esteem valued, landing at in showrooms at just shy of 27K. With a standard 3.8 V6, the automaker can assert OK fuel mileage of 19 mpg city and 28 mpg expressway. In nowadays of built up gas costs, good mileage is a sharp advertising instrument, yet anticipate that numerous purchasers will pick the ultra intense Northstar V8. Why? Since, in the event that they need to buy a Buick, they likely will need the ability to oblige the extravagance. It stays to be perceived how well the V6 works in an auto that is 203 creeps in length and tipping the scales at about two tons.

Standard gear for the Lucerne incorporates the accompanying: control windows, entryway bolts, and mirrors; side blind air sacks for the front seat; burglary obstruction framework; OnStar; keyless passage; and then some.

The discretionary gear rundown is far reaching and can without much of a stretch drive the beginning cost of the highest point of the line CSX to more than 35K. At that cost you get warmed power seats with lumbar support; a memory bundle that changes the seats, mirrors, radio, and atmosphere control to every driver's details; brandish cowhide controlling wheel with inherent controls; and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

A completely stacked Lucerne is still a few thousand dollars not exactly the DTS, making the Lucerne an esteem pioneer in the extravagance auto class. Still, Buick has a difficult, but not impossible task ahead as rivalry from remote brands including Acura, BMW, and Lexus keep on hammering without end at GM's "close extravagance" division. Luckily, quality levels for all Buicks stay high so consolidating that level of progress with a solid cost may help the Lucerne contend honorably.
