Actually that's one I don't think has been mentioned. The Lucerne is a very good car.
BTW I wouldn't say Japanese as a catch all. Only Toyota and Honda are more reliable. Nissan for example has worse reliability than GM and Ford. I think the only name plate they are better than is Dodge.

Buick had a car (the Regal) which was listed in the most reliable category in Consumer Reports in 2004. Unfortuantely 1) lots of cars make that category. The Regal is not necessarilly the MOST reliable car, it's just among them and 2) the Regal has been discontinued
Plus, if you look at that particular list, Honda and Toyota (I'm counting Acura and Lexus here) had 6 of the 10 most reliable cars. With Nissan and Hyundai taking another 2, that leaves only 2 American cars for the list. So by the numbers in that year, Japan still had it over America.

And as for the Lucerne, it is not offered with a manual transmission.
