Actually, no.
Automobile Magazine claims the Lucerne has better driving dynamics than the Avalon. The Lucerne is basically the retired Seville STS with a new body and interior. The Northstar also has a broader power band and better fuel economy, and runs on regular. The Avalon has the advantage of Toyota quality and a bit of a nicer interior. There's also the very dramatic difference in resale value, where Toyota of course has a huge advantage.
Its named after a Swiss town because Bob Lutz is Swiss. Its also a BRAND OF MILK.
