Paint it black. Put turbos on it and make it look means as hell and I may be interested.

**EDIT**
And give it rear wheel drive too....

I like it a lot. RWD is a big plus. This car has basically been being sold in China as the Park Avenue since 2007 I believe and it's selling very well there. Very high quality car. I've been waiting for it to come to the US market.

what platform is this?

edit: NM its another Epsilon II, its really just what the 2010 aura would of been. nice car but dunno if its exactly any more sporty than the lacross. maybe if they have an AWD Turbo version it could be interesting. take that 2.8 Turbo motor in the SRX drop it in there and make it AWD and that could be a fun little car

iFX, no it has been sold as the Buick Regal in China... and the Opel Insignia in Europe...

ahahahahaha.

"I believe" followed by a statement of "very high quality"

while I see it as possible....you are officially talking out of your ass

I wonder....if the 3.8L Intercooled Turbo from the 87 GNX has been continually refined every year since then, how frigged monstrous would that thing be

Knowing GM, they will make this car $30k and nobody will be able to afford it.

Those two snippets you took out of his post are not directly related. Reading comprehension - you lack it.

I was just reading up on the Buick Regal line.
In 1987, the Buick regal based GNX had an MSRP of $29,000
adjusted for inflation....wowza...that's $55,173.48 in 2009 dollars!!!

I believe statement - no factual evidence
very high quality - based on what

arrogance - you have it

This car will have to slot in at around $24-25k in order to fit in properly... expect it to max out at around $36k... with perhaps a high-performance sedan around $40k... but no GNX model...

First time I've ever been called arrogant. Over a single statement no less. Interesting.

Look up the Opel Insignia OPC...it is exactly the car you are talking about...we can only pray that it is an option they bring over.

Really? Buicks are priced significantly less than their Lexus competition, and have the quality to match.

Mid 20's for this car would be a good deal, and you would get a great car.
