Yes, if they are not going to narrow it (which would be nice because it creates more room for knees and such), they should really increase the size of the buttons. There is no reason they couldn't figure out a way to make the radio controls and/or climate controls bigger.

Although the Lucerne's interior is wonderful, it's still nothing compared to what interiors used to be. One has to think that things were simplified just because past interiors almost had a sense of being too "chaotic" in their designs and implementation. Now is it that? Or is it the cost? One has to wonder. The LaCrosse could seriously use a bit of interior tweak. Obviously everyone knows my stand on real wood. Use that instead of the plastic super-shiny junk, and maybe a few other types of materials on the interior, and we're talking a nicer/classier interior. However, styling is conservative. There need be some more pizzazz.

Haven't really noticed anything here on the Island that warrants stupidity. The only thing I've seen a few times, which I think is cute, is the ball w/ crack marks protruding from the rear window of minivans. Hey, if a mom of her children who play sports wants to have a baseball smashing through the rear window simulated on her minivan, so be it. Other than that, nothing.

I coulda sworn my friends 93 Town Car had a version of Intellibeam. I recall a police officer stopping him and then accusing him of having a radar detector.

Well, hopefully if she learns how to read, she can use her "idol" status to be inspirational to others to try and learn to read.

I wear Cool Water... you have to use it sparingly... the effect is better as the day goes on. Once the potency wears off, the cologne is very soft, masculine, and inviting. My first love ever wore it--drove me WILD!

Yeah, I miss the 98 in a serious way. And c'mon, the interiors were so much more detailed and inviting than today's.

Right you are... although unfortunately we're probably going to have to wait for a 2008 refresh before we'll see the newer GM stereo. I am surprised they didn't use the climate control panel they use for the caddies--I mean, the hot/cold/power is essentially one piece (hot/cold one piece with a power button in the middle)... something simple like that already makes the area seem less chaotic--combining 3 buttons into 1.

Good point.

GM1, thanks for the pics. They really help me decide that I definitely want the CXL lol I'm not a bench fan, and the cloth really does lower the classiness of the interior.

Well, I'm not a fan of the center stack. I would like to see it with a non-black surface, or even a piano black finish. Also, I think the buttons should be larger for the stereo and more spread out/less chaotic for the climate controls.

Hey, GM1, could you take some pics of the interior of the CX? I would like to see what the cloth looks like, and the car as a whole as I'd probably either get a CX with an option package or the base CXL.

Thanks... it's rare I pick up on these things! lol Is the back plate behind the gauges metallic? It looks reflective but I can't figure out if that's the flash reflecting off the chrome rings around the gauges?

Interesting... that's a CX, no?

That's good to hear because I liked the wood knob. Albeit fake, I think it's a classy touch.

Whatever it may be, Caddy is still much nicer-looking.

Carmen Miranda was not showing off the car. It was the actress Eva Longoria playing Gabrielle on the show. That'd be Lynette. Love her character.

See, I don't like getting lost. And the thought of just one day, driving west... just going nowhere in particular, staying in hotels on my travels, yet always being able to find your way back.. just sounds like fun.

Because some people, such as myself, would like NAV and would consider it far from a waste of money as I am someone who loves to travel via car. It is also there to compete with other cars. Hell, if the Accord, Altima, Camry, and a freaking Civic or Mazda3 can offer it, I would think a larger, more expensive "premium" sedan should offer it.

Wow, I think Barbie might be jealous.

Oh, and the interior 360's SUCK compared to the older Buick.com. They used to be so smooth and clear--these are nowhere near as nice.

I still think the site will be revised over the next couple of weeks. I found a few mistakes here and there, and with any website launch, there are probs/errors that get noticed and corrected within a little time. Give it 1.5-2 weeks, at that point-the site should be up and running, full, error-free (as much as possible). After that, well, that's just pathetic to have any mistakes.

Not to mention Sagemist doesn't really look like anything other than a light grayish/silver.

From what I read like a month ago, all 2006's were going to get the leather shift knobs instead of the wood. 140? Wow, you would think that since they updated their website today, they would also have 2006 pictures... the speedometers in the pics say 120mph!

LOVE THAT COLOR! I think it's just the pictures--the lights are the same.
