Oshawa, Ontario (Friday, September 30, 2005) - General Motors of Canada today announced pricing for the all-new 2006 Lucerne – Buick’s most elegant model which incorporates themes of the brand’s new design direction. The Lucerne features premium content and a comprehensive safety package that includes a segment-first dual depth front passenger air bag. The Lucerne also benefits from Buick’s exclusive “QuietTuning” process to eliminate unwanted cabin noise with a goal of providing best-in-class levels of ride quietness. The MSRP on V6 models is $30,995 for the well-equipped base CX, with the CXL starting at $33,355. A V8-equipped CXL has an MSRP of $36,235, with the more performance-oriented V8 CXS starting at $42,685.
“In addition to a great line-up of standard features, Lucerne’s exterior styling, spacious and quiet interior, nimble ride and handling and premium feel position this car to win over competitor vehicle owners and Buick loyalists alike,” said Norm Sawula, GM of Canada’s Marketing Manager for Luxury Cars. “With a full complement of safety, comfort and convenience features, an enhanced 4-year, 80,000 km warranty, and a price position that will really stand out in comparison shopping, there is a lot of excitement around the all-new Lucerne.”

The 2006 Buick Lucerne is available with both V6 and V8 engine options. The Lucerne CX and CXL come standard with GM’s 3.8L V6 engine producing 197 horsepower and 227 lb.-ft. of torque. The CXS model is equipped with GM’s 4.6L Northstar V8 engine, (optional on the CXL model), producing 275 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque and is the first Buick to offer Magnetic Ride Control, paired with Stabilitak, to enhance overall ride performance.

Additional standard features include side thorax airbags for driver and front passenger, head curtain airbags for front and outboard rear seat passengers, traction control, five-passenger seating, 16” aluminum wheels, air conditioning, 6-way power driver’s seat, 6-speaker enhanced audio system, OnStar, power door locks and windows, and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Available options include remote vehicle start, magnetic ride control, Magnasteer, a 280-watt Harman Kardon stereo system, XM satellite radio, heated & cooled leather seats, sunroof and 18” aluminum wheels, ultrasonic rear parking assist, rain-sensing windshield wiper system, the first heated windshield washer fluid application in its class, and a nine-speaker, and six-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability.

Production of the all-new Lucerne will commence in the fourth quarter of 2005.
