Straddling the middle of the 2006 Buick Lucerne lineup is the CXL, with V6-equipped models starting at $28,990 and V8-powered examples going for $30,990 (prices include a $725 destination charge). The CXL’s equipment list is a bit more extensive and includes dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, a power front passenger’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an MP3 player, and heated mirrors. Optional creature comforts include heated and cooled front seats with or without perforated leather, handling can be improved with the StabiliTrak stability control system (V8-equipped CXLs only), and the Lucerne will shine more brightly when chrome alloy wheels are chosen to replace the standard rims.
