The 2008 Buick Lucerne lineup gains some new models, including the CXL Special Edition and sporty Super. Buick's largest car shares its basic design with the Cadillac DTS. A 197-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine is standard in the CX, CXL, and CXL Special Edition V6. A 275-hp 4.6-liter V8 is standard in the CXL Special Edition V8 and CXS. The new Super has a 292-hp version of the same V8, along with revised steering, sport suspension, and specific interior trim. All Lucernes use a 4-speed automatic transmission and seat five. An available front-bench seat on CX and CXL increases capacity to six. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Also available are blind-spot alert and lane-departure warning systems. Leather upholstery is standard on all but the CX. Other available features include remote engine start, heated and cooled front seats, and a navigation system. Evaluations of the 2008 Buick Lucerne Super are based on preview test drives.
