out. Every line polished. Every technology purposefully precise.

to form a more intelligent luxury sedan. Not show- off smart,

Within Lucerne, motion is generated two ways. Its standard FlexFuel 3.9L 227-hp V-6 engine
generates 237 lb-ft of torque and runs on gasoline or E85,1 a blend of 85 percent ethanol and
15 percent gasoline. The second option is the available all-aluminum 32- valve Northstar
4.6L V-8 powering the Lucerne Super model. Its legendary status is proven with 292 hp, 288 lb-ft
of torque and quick acceleration with plenty of reserve power. They’re both mated to a
smooth-shifting, electronically tuned automatic transmission. For the ultimate in convenience,
Lucerne can be started from nearly 200 feet away with an available remote starter system.

Being behind the wheel of the Lucerne Super model means Magnetic Ride Control (MRC)
is working for you. It speed-reads the road up to 1,000 times per second, adjusting damper
settings to heighten wheel contact, giving you tight handling and a fluid ride — something
Infiniti G37 or Lexus ES 350 can’t do. Dynamic handling also comes from the four-wheel
independent suspension with full-range traction control and StabiliTrak, an electronic
stability control system. StabiliTrak constantly monitors Lucerne to help retain traction and
assist you in maintaining your steering path for optimal control.

Its angled windshield and roofline grab plenty of attention — except from the wind. Designed to slice
through the air, Lucerne goes with the flow. Finely sculpted lines encircle Lucerne while highlighting chrome
portholes and a waterfall grille, signatures of the Buick design philosophy. Wraparound headlamps
with high-intensity tungsten-halogen bulbs not only illuminate the road, but Lucerne’s design as well.
