Seems the article was done ONLY to compare two very different cars wearing the same nameplate. I have no problem with it, but it sure made the new one look like a bad one. If this is ANY indication of the new GS, Buick has made a mistake of historical proportions.
Pretty much.
They were what they are and that was and is... SWEET! I'd sure like another in my driveway. And if someone is giving one away, I want it!
Huh??? Uhh... NO.
The GN-X was, but the GN... No... 14.3's was about where they were. I drove an 86 for awhile... In 1986/7(I could NOT afford that car). Anyway, 14.40-60's...

And that "slow" car is just as fast as an LS1 car with a good launch, I really don't get how you could call it slow?

The new GS looks just like the concept.....MINUS the awesome front seats, AWD and turbo 6. It now has fwd only and a turbo 4. The only good thing they kept was the stick.

Yes, so there's really no point in offering the stick either. Anyone who would have wanted the stick would have wanted everything else. Now they'll go elsewhere.
