The high performance northstar would get a 3.71:1 axle ratio and the Pontiac Bonneville's with the northstar V8 also got the 3.71:1 axle ratio.
The 3800 is reliable and efficient. A solid engine.
If you would like more HP than the 3800, why not go with the Northstar?

I think the only difference in the 2 is the inceased price not any additional equipment
Alos tire pressure monitoring is standard
(Destination Charges Excluded)
2006Lucerne MSRP CX $25,990(Source Buick Website)---- 2007 CX $25,440 or $550 less. (Source Edmunds)
2006Lucerne MSRP CXL $27,790(Source Buick Website)---- 2007 CXL $28,460 or $670 more. (Source Edmunds)
Two new exterior colors and two new combination interior colors are new for 2007. Tire pressure monitors now standard, on all trim levels,Heated steering wheel is part of a Luxury Package(PCK) on CXL and is Standard on CXS.
However a $1500 cash rebate is available only on 2006 Models until 9/5/06.(as of this date)
2007 MSRP Base price CXL V-6 $28,460 - $1165 dollars more ....source looking at stickers of 2 cars side by side
add in the lack of rebate on the '07....the '07 is $2695 dollars more....of course you still have the option for 0% for 60 months on the '06 instead of the rebate
I wonder if anyone can tell me if this is normal; whether there are two types of this package; or if I am not setting it properly?? To set it, I am just hold the "1" or "2" button until I hear two beeps.
Thanks for any help!
0-60 in 9.4 seconds? Damn, thats slow for a car in 2006. I think my old Suburban did that. I can't be too hard on the car cause I haven't drove it, but you put a Northstar into about anything, you got a nice car.
I would not put this anywhere near a 5 series BMW. That guy is going to loss is shirt on depreciation. To me, its got small car styling and the size of a Crown Vic, looks better in pictures than live. Car choice of this (with the 3.8), Chrsyler 300 (no hemi), Ford Five Hundred, Pacifica and Dodge Magnum. Will do a final test drive, but got to go with the 300, can't see where the Buick has it beat and it's tight if so. Am I missing something here? The big engine's are not worth the huge increase in the sticker price. A northstar or hemi is not that much more costly to produce. Why can't America make a quick six cylinder that gets to to 60 mph in around 7 seconds? Got to put these small block V8's that get around 10 mpg in the city.
I just bought an '06. I love mine too.

BE CAREFUL FOLKS !
Try turning it all the way off/manual lights mode and see if that doesn't fix it.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Thanks in advance for responses.
1) Make is smaller (198 inches).
2) Make is lighter
3) Make is more fuel efficient.
Also, keep making the split bench seat.
side, like it is in the Buick Lesabre (2000 thru 2005).
2) Improve Agility.
3) Improve emergency handling.
4) Improve braking distance.
5) Have a folding rear seat.
6) Have an optional newer V6 engine engine which has better
acceleration and fuel economy than the current 3.8 liter
engine in the Lucerne. Maybe GM's 3.9 liter or 3.6
liter engines could be used in the Lucerne.
7) The length of the Lucerne (203.2 inches) is perfect.
Please do not change it unless you want to increase its
length a few more inches.
8) Keep the outside mirrors which can be folded in.
9) Keep the battery under the rear seat as it is in the
buick lesabre (2000 thru 2005.)
10) Have a stability control system standard on the Lucerne.

That is always the case, with any new model coming out. You pay a price to be the "first" on the block to own the car, and I'd think anyone who watched GM over the last 10 years would know rebates would be following the launch of a new vehicle soon. Shoot, they might as well just put the checks in the glove compartments of every new Ford and GM product.
(But actually what I'd really like is a new Riviera.....)
1. Put a finished edge on the headliner fabric where it meets the windshield. Actually a heavier fabric would be better too. It would hide some of the lumps and bumps and wrap around curves a little better.
2. Put a SCAN button on the stereo.
3. Make the whole seat leather - the fabric on the sides looks cheap.
4. The front end is very plain. I'm not sure what it needs but something to make it stand out a little.
5. Make fog lights and option on the CXL.
6. Put Michelin tires on it from the factory. Continentals are junk and have to be replaced anyway.
to reach the standard door pull if fully open)
2. Raise the rubber "air deflector" that extends below the front fender as it scrapes on moderate changes in road surfaces and curb stones when parking.
3. Add Stability Control on all Lucerne models.
4. Widen the front seats.
I am more comfortable in the smaller
Buick Lacrosse seats as they measure 20 inches wide at the front of the seat and 20 inches at the rear of the seat.
My Lucerne is 20" in front but tapers down to 18" at the rear.
I chose a Full Size Car for it's ride and large interior volume,and paid more money for it.
The seats found in First Class Air provide extra room and are more comfortable than just those in "Coach"with adequate room.
Now please don't respond to say the seats are just perfect for you because some did agree with this issue in the Lucerne Interior Messages,and I am sure not one person would refuse first class seats if somehow they could be found in the entire plane!
Press and hold the Seek Up button until scan starts, then press to stop. Same thing with seek down. The steering wheel control also works the same way, but only seeks or scans up.
I love my CXS but I am having two problems that my local dealership cant figure out.
1. My car sometimes runs the battery down overnight while sitting more then 8 hours.
Dealership upgraded software but it still does it once a week or so. Battery is taking change and alternator is working fine.
2. Car gives a vibration noise in the rear while in drive at a light.
They keep messing around with exhaust thinking that it is touching something but after having it in twice the noise is still there loud as ever!
Anyone have these problems??
