I personally don't find it that appealing... it will probably be a decent road car though and will hopefully represt good value for money.

Well here are the specs.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/11/2...engine-lineup/

Wait whats that sound? Oh I know it's GM sucking all the fun out of the room.

Some one in the comments section said "yeah but it still has 220 hp and get like 30 mpg". News flash my 1994 yeah thats right 1994 Buick Regal had about 220 hp and got more than 30 mpg. Welcome to 15 years ago.

This one indicates a GS model, 280hp , brembos and a 6-speed manual.

280 isn't enough in my mind, they need to stuff that new turbo cady engine in it and be done. They can never make it awesome, just good....dam you GM

They don't even need the turbo caddy motor they could just use the euro spec motors and kill everything in its class. I think it makes 325hp/tq and still gets 30 ish mpg. Screw this detuned crap!

I hope they build a GS version worth having performance wise and can compete with the likes of EVOs and STIs. I don't know about y'all but I really would like some thing similar performance to an EVO or STI but with out the boy racer looks that come with those two cars.

Whoa whoa whoa guys, lets not all get our hopes up too high here. Chances are this thing will be Gramma Betty's bingo ride and not much more then that. Have some hope, but not much.

Some one in the comments section was an idiot that only had 170hp in their 1994 regal. Series 1 ftl.

Moving on I think an AWD 2.8 turbo T-Type would be sweet with the GSX being an AWD turbo 3.6 pushing 400hp. No grand national for the love of god. It would take a miracle for a new grand national to be a success in everyone's eyes.



Quick Reply: The new Regal... maybe
