In 2005, Buick introduced the full-sized Lucerne in an attempt to modernize the brand's image and appeal to a younger demographic.

• "It shares its solid front-drive foundations with the Cadillac DTS, and is a quiet, relaxed-fit full-size car that is smooth, competent, and unlikely to appeal to anyone under 50 years old." -Car and DriverCar and Driver: 2008 Buick Lucerne Capsule Review

• "Lucerne occupies a middle ground between the flamboyant Chrysler 300 and the conservative Toyota Avalon, with the well-appointed CXL offering the most value for the money." -ConsumerGuideConsumerGuide: 2008 Buick Lucerne Road Test

• "If you're looking for a full-size American luxury car with a V8 and acres of interior space, the 2008 Buick Lucerne is worth a look. Less nostalgic buyers will be better served by this segment's more capable competitors." -Edmunds.comEdmunds: 2008 Buick Lucerne Review
