I really wanted this car to be awesome. I think the styling inside and out is different but good. I knew they were going with the ecotec but ditching the AWD was the last straw. They wanted to make Buick a entry level luxury car brand for young people and they give us a car that can't perform or compete with the euro brands and costs just as much.

 

turbo 3.6L DGI V6 and AWD Grand National please. 350+HP

 

I can guarantee it won't be a GN. That would alienate too many potential customers.

 

As a former Grand National owner this car has no business wearing that name. It's performance is hardly worthy of the Gran Sport name as well.

 

No, GM has been doing that same thing for at least a decade.

 

This has got to be GM's idea of a joke. Sporty and 7 seconds from 0-60 do not go together.

The government is not cutting the ***** off that is GMs stupidity. This is why we have a 4k lb Camaro, yuck.

The Lacrosse has a 300hp DI V6 and a longer wheelbase with more interior room. That little 4 banger will be working hard to move that midsize car around.

 

Yeah, but not everybody wants a longer wheelbase... this car is a disappointment plain and simple, and it hasn't even been released.

 

Gonna have to agree with most here: Good looking car....but there's no "performance" to speak of here.

 

It's a good looking car. Thats it. I think most of the owners will baby this car. No one will drive the hell out of it. Who cares what Buick brings to the performance table. I don't think anyone here will ever buy a performance Buick over a performance Chevy.

 

Giant disappointment. I was really expecting more. Hopefully they have something new and fresh coming to top this...but I won't hold my breathe.


So is this NOT the LNF since it's "exclusive"?
