This year we put a new supercharger on it at 165,000 miles. We service it regularly and it still gives us 19 - 27 miles per gal. People can't believe it is as old as it is.
This car runs like a quarter horse from 75 miles per hour, push on the gas pedal and it jumps out of the gate!
You are absolutely right. They should still make these cars. I purchased a 2005 with 16 thousand miles last year after owning a '99 for three years. I love these cars and I really don't feel the Lucerne is a rightful replacement. Maybe I will move to the Enclave for my next vehicle. But that will be a while.
