Does the front-wheel-drive platform hurt the 2006 Buick Lucerne?
No. Driving enthusiasts may not relish the thought of a large, V8-powered sedan without rear-wheel drive, but engineers have blessed the 2006 Buick Lucerne with a good balance of weight and handling, not to mention little torque-steer. Also, the majority of the Lucerne’s competitors are front-wheel drive, the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 being the notable exceptions.
