The Buick Lucerne Super Introduced at the 2007 New York Auto Show, the Lucerne Super was a more powerful, upscale trim of the original Lucerne. With an enhanced 4.6 Liter Northstar V-8 engine, the Lucerne Super added 17 hp (13 kW) to the CXS model’s V8. Updated styling to the front end and the addition of a spoiler to the rear aimed to create a bolder and sportier look. Production of the Lucerne Super began in 2008. The Lucerne was introduced with the standard Buick 3800 V6, with a Cadillac Northstar V8 and Corvette’s active suspension Magnetic Ride Control available as options. All General Motors 3.8 Liter Buick V6 powered cars become the first SULEV-compliant vehicles. The Lucerne’s base price was lower than its predecessor, the LeSabre, though the V8 option caused the price to reach that of the Park Avenue. In keeping with Buick tradition, the Lucerne featured a row of “Ventiports” on the front fenders corresponding to the number of cylinders in the engine — three on each side for the V6 or four for the V8.
