Default Buick Lucerne?

Saw this at the Buick golf tournament this weekend. Looks quite nice outside, but I think it's still FWD and now with V8.

Why low profile tires on a car like THAT.........supposedly designed for ride comfort?

This sport-chassis and tires stuff is starting to get out of hand. Leave them on sports sedans and sports cars where they belong...not on luxury cars.

Looks alright to me! I would be weary of a FWD v8 though.

Cadillac has used them for years. They are petty refined by now.

Yes, Northstar V-8 is available. Other choice is V-6.

I don't like the portholes or the back end of the vehicle. No wonder Buick may be the next division to go away like Olds did.
