Bottomline A soft ride and roomy interior still form the solid base for the 2009 Buick Lucerne’s appeal. If you don't mind driving a big car with derivative looks, the 2008 Kia Amanti is a great choice. An ancient but roomy design and performance that trails nearly every other new car means that most people will be better off looking elsewhere.
