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?

No, just a little profanity.

Se mi parla la verità, ti do auguri. Se mi fece uno scherzo, vaffanculo! lol

I am SO f@#kING CONFUSED. Zeta's dead... but it's not. But it is. But it's not. But the G8 will only be sold in small amounts. But let's make a Camino out of it. And now a coupe. WHAT THE f@#k IS GOING ON WITH PONTIAC?!

I'm with Olds on this... it's April Fool's Day, and I remember not too long ago your farewell to everyone on C&G because you were going to stop posting here. :AH-HA_wink:

The jealousy on this end is beyond measure! I want one!! It's beautiful--hope you'll snag some interior pics soon

I don't follow--according to the Chevy website, the 2.4L is 169hp (164hp in the hybrid).

My family was ALWAYS a domestic family until my parents' last purchase. I'm too ashamed to even say what it is. What's amazing is, my parents are always so dead set in their ways--I assumed they'd always purchase from domestic manufacturers (except never from Chevy--they never entertained a Chevy after their 1982 Malibu Classic disaster--and in their defense, it was a real piece of $h!.)

Happy Birthday!

I'm so sorry to hear that!

Yes.

I still can't believe the corporate radio hasn't made its way into the G6.

True, I just want what's best for GM. Right now, I see G6, Malibu, Aura, Impala, and even the LaCrosse all overlapping each other, and that's just too much--way out of control.

Haha, then my concern will be the overlap between the LaCrosse and Aura.

Honestly... other than the looks, what's going to be the difference between an Aura and a Malibu in 2009? To me it's just huge overlap.

Well, it's in the Impala, don't forget. It also gets better fuel economy than the 3.6L.

BLUETOOTH!!!!

Honestly, I have trouble getting very excited over Buick anymore. I just don't see much product coming to the brand, and yes, we'll be getting an "amazing" LaCrosse... and then a NG Lucerne. I'm very impatient right now--it seems like there's too much delay to get good product to the brand. Thank God for the Enclave--it's my only hint that the brand is changing.

I think you misunderstood him... there's a decimal point missing. He meant $45.00... right? Right? :AH-HA_wink:

Yes, but the price went up and the content went down. That's a big jump in my opinion.

Dave... speaking of More Value (you had mentioned in your post)... One thing that really irritates me is, standard on the base LaCrosse is tilt/telescopic steering, dual zone auto climate control. Not standard on the more expensive Lucerne, which now starts over 27K. Not to mention, they decontented the CXL a little, yet the price starts over 30K now!
