It looks like GM is bringing the Buick Grand National back.

No two door version, no care. Sorry for the negativity, may be an awesome line up but that doesn't make it a GN. J.M.02.

Redneck Response:
Ima get one of dem injuns and slap it in a traverse...call it a Van National.



Real Response:
Hmmm...Twin Turbo 3.6 with 360-400hp? Sounds interesting.

The only flack it's going to get are on car forums where most wouldn't buy the car any way, to the general public most these name plates are pretty far removed from any current memory and rebadging isn't a new concept. Neither is the tendency to draw the same ire when it occurs from people who have no intentions of purchasing the car, so their opinions are void. I am with Ross, it's interesting, GM has some cool stuff in the pipeline just hope they don't equate to pipe dreams.

I heard T-Type and GNX as well.

The Alpha platform has impressed me so far and I didn't think the ATS would live up to the hype. It's going to be real interesting to see how that platform develops.

I think that it is going to be sweet, but they do need to make a coupe versions for sure. Next the need to work on bringing back Pontiac and the Trans Am!

I like it i'll be in the market for a 4 door car in couple of years I can't wait to see the details on the drivetrain and numbers

looks like a shot into the CTS-V and M5 market, but as a big fan of the orig Grand National I'd never buy the new one, a few more dollars and own the Cadi

The car looks great, performance to back it up? Sounds like a winner to me.

I wish, I don't have the garage space and own 4 cars now. I seen one in Spring TX at a charity car show in decent shape and guy wanted $55k but I wasn't shopping just asked what he would let it go for

I'm down for this.

I have a feeling they won't be putting an LT1 in the GNX, but that V6 should be plenty good.

glad to see GM got it's head screwed on right finally and is moving this car back to RWD. when the 'new' regal was first on demo a few years ago at the dallas auto show, i told the GM rep 'FWD 4cyl? who cares!', and he was like 'no one remembers the grand national but you'

That is funny- typical GM reaction. I don't know that I will buy another new GM vehicle but would be cool to drive.

Niche market and it will fail.

Nice assumption considering you do not know the power/performance/styling/pricing of these potential vehicles.

You're right, I should give them some hope. I was just going by what history has proven.

It could work, the business case is to gap the bridge between the Chevrolet and Cadillac, but at the same time, the current stuff hasn't been as big of a hit as one would expect. It'll serve as an image car for the brand and hopefully bring the solid food and permenant teeth market demographic in to Buick. Around me Buicks are either some one near a 100, or has a cousin serving a 100. 5th wheel and pokes.

Looks nice. Buick has some nice looking cars as of lately.
