Default Buick To get the 5.3 LS4

Check it out in the '08 LaCrosse SUPER. Maybe the most FANCY PANTS W car ever made... I bet it comes with DYNARIDE and Concert Sound II....When are they gonna stop making the 3800?

Default Hoorah for Buick!

I am an OLD SCHOOL Buick fan from way back. The stablemate to my new 2007 Chevy Impala SS is my 1970 Buick Gran Sport. If the Super had been released a few months earlier I would have given it serious consideration. Its good to see some real muscle back in the Buick stable. They haven't had any since the Gran National.

Rock on!

Default Buick

The tag line for the old Buicks was...

"Go FAST with CLASS!!"

Seeing a Buick smoke its tires again is going to be sweet..

This always happens when you get something new, I was looking at some Buicks before I purchased my SS. The northstar motor didn't impress me too much in my Aurora, so I opted for some classic LS style V8 power. But if the Buick were available I probably would have bought the Buick.

Call me crazy, but i don't like it one bit..."Super" or not. The rear is alright, but the front end is downright fugly IMO.

I guess you guys are a little older than me, b/c just about every Buick for the past 10-15 years screams "grandpa's car"...minus the late 90s, early 2000 Regal GS, maybe, but even grandpa had a hottie every once in a while.

Yeah, not feelin' it. I think the Lucerne would have been a better choice for the LS4.

There is a guy here at my work that has a black Buick Lucerne. Love the back end. Looks very slick. HATE the front end. Just cannot get into that grill. Not sure what it is.
