Bottomline A soft ride and roomy interior still form the solid base for the 2009 Buick Lucerne’s appeal. A great choice for older drivers, the 2008 Ford Taurus excels on its size, safety gear, and large instrumentation, but falls behind the Honda Accord in driving excitement. The 2008 Toyota Avalon is designed for a cushy, comfortable ride and impressive interior space above all else.
