USA Today has posted a glowing review of the 2006 Buick Lucerne, which columnist James R. Healey says is “among the best big, front-drive sedans on the market.” The Lucerne is based on the chassis used for the Cadillac DTS, but Healey says the Buick is “more pleasant to drive, more appealing inside, slicker-looking outside.” He insists modern Buicks are not just cars for old “fogeys.” Buick may not be a young, hip brand like Scion , but it “has a high-performance heritage that is decades old and is being renewed in Lucerne.” Healey goes on to say that Buick’s build quality is superior to that of Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota , and its interior is on par with other luxury cars. “And since when are a comfortable ride and pleasant amenities bad things? Been in a Mercedes-Benz lately? Or a big BMW or Lexus ? Buicks by another name.”
