Honestly, it's a shame we never saw a power bump with the 3800 Series III. It would have been nice to keep the engine competitive. Even just up to like 225-230hp.

It's so worth it. SO worth it.

Anyone want to tell this guy that Pontiac is ingeniously branding itself as just "car"? And anyone want to point out to him that the G6 sedan is not RWD?

Wait... the giant graphic on the doors made production?! That's terrible!

Again, the CXS trim is available on the website. The Special Edition CXL V6 and V8 is available too... it has a regular grille, but it's chromed (at least it is when you go to build it), and the wheels look different--but it's too difficult to tell what they look like.

I'm hoping so. I loved the forest green years ago, but it's just not in style now. A silvery-green would look nice on the LaCrosse... and maybe something a tad bolder than the "sagemist metallic" that's on the Lucerne would look good.

I doubt we'll see any changes for the LaCrosse--maybe a paint color change or two. The Lucerne, well, it'd be nice to see a slight update to the exterior and interior, just to keep it fresh, and now in line with the new faces of Buick and maybe some paint changes. I highly doubt GM would donate the time and money into throwing a 3.6L in the Lucerne. The Enclave, well, it sounds like it'll get the DI 3.6, and maybe Bluetooth, which are both welcome. I'd love to see some shade of green be available for the LaCrosse and Enclave.

It looks beautiful. And again, totally jealous. :AH-HA_wink:

Aura. Enough with the name changing. Aura is what people heard was car of the year. Aura has had commercials. How much confusion was there when they introduced the Zephyr and then changed it to MKZ?

I always considered the last 240Z a girly car.

Ummm... me. Not that I disagree with what Croc says, but I happen to be a night person bigtime... and I like some alone time, or even just coming in from hanging out with friends--and I tend to be a much happier person late at night than I am during the day. I'm much more relaxed. And I'm not a drinker. So, it is completely possible. That being said, I don't think any of your reactions/feelings are wrong at this point--it makes complete sense why you'd feel the way you do, and yes, the situation is kind-of suspicious. But don't go off the deep end just yet... it's all still new. And you're still learning him.

I can't stand bush... ... I even disliked it before he got in office.

I know this is SUCH a little detail, but why isn't the insignia chrome on the steering wheel?

Wow, that makes a WORLD of difference--looks nice!!

Already?

Me too! And I'm looking forward to the re-unveiling (since being that I'll be on painkillers by then I won't remember it the first time I see it!) LOL

If that's it, I'm sold.

You know, the one reason I didn't want to go into architecture was solely because I didn't want people to tell me how to draw/alter something of my dreams (little did I know that computers would replace the pencil)... ... but my dreams looked a HELL of a lot nicer than this crap.

Eat that Prius. Seriously though--wonder how fast they could get that to go?

Funny you should bring this up... we were talking at work about a new guidance counselor who has a name that sounds like a porn name (literally), and then my friend Dana told me about a student she had years ago whose name was Oliver Hiscock.

Those are awesome changes. I'm so glad Bluetooth is coming into GM products... I would love to have my cell work through my car, hands free. Too bad the next GM product I own will have to be used and not have Bluetooth!

I'd like to find out that we're getting a smaller car for Buick. But for 2009, I'd just like to see an update to the Lucerne's interior, maybe a grille update, the 3.6L standard (although I truly believe that's not going to happen), and some equipment changes.

Happy Birthday 'blu!! And... uh... I was just looking through the smilies--doesn't the popcorn on the bag also look like something 'blu might enjoy?

That's when we'll hear about 2009 changes? I'm not referring to the NG LaCrosse--I'm talking simply about the 09 LaCrosse, Lucerne and Enclave changes, like paint colors, equipment, etc.

I know Buick is always late when it comes to posting information/launching products--or at least later than GMs other divisions, but I was wondering when we might be able to hear any changes/updates to the current lineup for 2009?
