Haha I was just going to post this link in my old thread but I can't find it. Anyways this car looks awesome! And I want it! They just need to be careful about the pricing, Autoblog said they thought mid to upper $30's, thats pushing into BMW territory. I still like the car though.

Love the interior, manual transmission option, and the rear end.
Hate the side and 3/4 view - looks too much like an Altima/Accord/etc. Also, note the "I-Drive" like button on the console. Hmmmm....aiming at Bimmer owners????
Maybe it'll look better in another color other than white.

I think it's too heavy. And a fwd biased drivetrain. Doesn't scream performance at all..
/edit: Still a good car, but I hope they slap a GN badge on it.

Good looking car. I wouldn't be willing up cough up the dough for one though.
Yup. IIRC, that's what the VW R32 (MK IV) had. That thing lost a LOT of power to the tires through that system. I drove a supercharged one and that didn't even impress me.

I don't like it.
I think the LaCrosse Super was a better looking car.
I'd much rather have a base CTS model than this, just based on looks.

so close yet so far... It looks like meh, and we didn't get the 325hp turbo V6 that it comes with over in Europe.
Shame on you GM.... I could ignore the looks for the better engine.

I doubt they will make a GN or GNX, if anything the GS leaves room for GM to later push in a bigger better model. Since SLP used the GSx in the late 90s early 2000s (like mine) on the fwd SC Regals i don't see why they couldn't do a higher HP V6 boosted version later on. The GSx name was already demoted from the 70s.

Man I'm surprised those are stock wheels, the almost look custom. Not really big on the body, I wish GM would bring back the original body back, do a little retro styling. Overall though it's a decent looking car.

They are insane if they bring it to market without the V6 turbo they already build it with in Europe. That and it has a FWD bias too which blows.
Fun fact - the car they're showing has a 2.8L V6 turbo under the hood.
