What we think of the 2008 Buick Lucerne Super depends largely on pricing, which has yet to be announced. Sure, 17 extra horsepower, some upgrades to the underpinnings, and a few visual enhancements are fine, but it’s only attractive as a package if the price is right. And, to be quite frank, there’s nothing really super about a full-size, front-wheel-drive premium sedan that tops out at 292 horsepower, especially when it’s mixed in with news about an upcoming rear-drive Hyundai sedan pushing an estimated 300+ horsepower and likely packed with features not available from Buick. Super? Maybe to brand loyalists.
