Here's the link:

I don't want a 4 door, but 0-60 under 6 seconds, AWD and 6 speed manual, plus 30 mpg.

No the Camaro is the G8, both by Holden. This looks like an awd 4dr cobalt or something else with a 4 cylinder.

It comes with 14" brakes, now that's pretty sweet.

GM Epsilon II, developed by Opel, Saab 9-5 and LaCrosse are on it now.

The Holdens are still Zeta but the new Alpha Platform might be used, the Aussies like bigger cars though, so Holden may keep Zeta.

Alpha will be used for the 2013-14 Camaro and maybe an Impala and or G8 replacement, its smaller though.

Well it's going against the grain but i'm not a fan...

The reason is because it's only 255 hp... It does look cool and has nice features. But so does a mitsu evo or subi sti... but those have nearly 300 hp and a HUGE aftermarket following.

Sorry guys, just would put my money elsewhere...

You can't compare a Buick to an Evo or STI...

I was checking the dimensions and it's pretty close to my MCSS, both outside and inside.

Would think all the EcoTech turbo thought processes would follow through on this car, but I would prefer a turbo V6 in this size of a car.

At least there will be a future for these vehicles.

In what way?

In terms of handling, this car would probably hang with an EVO or STI.

In terms of straight line, probably not, but the grand national will take care of that...

Hmm...........Boy Racer with Rich parents.....or Grandpa..


I think I'll go with Grandpa, lol.

Only problem I see with it is price..Im guessing it will cost ~34-35,000..Seeing that the top level CXL costs 32,000......I could get a Camaro SS for that price with alot of options...

I'd buy one to replace the GXP in a few years. Thats a nice looking Buick. Never thought I'd say that.
