[mopardrt]

Not Mopar but Buicks always have had a soft spot in my heart, could we see a return of a T top? that would be way cool

If this is true it will end up being a $70,000 + car

Would be nice if it wasn't a 4 door.

I believe the cadilac that they are going to use to base it on is a 2 door

Going to be interesting to see how bad GM screws this one up. I'm all for seeing this happen, but dont ruin the name.

They already make it! Its called the Buick verano turbo or the ATS caddie. I learned a lot about the ATS and verano by selling them. But its looks just like the ATS. If they put a V8 in it the thing will be nasty. They weight just over 3100lbs I think. The V6 with 321hp pulls it good.

They are basing it off the ATS. The ATS is a 4 door car only at the point. You're thinking of the CTS coupe.

Well if it looks like that little 4 door **** box who cares, and I am a Buick guy, have a 64 Riv and love it. Lots of new cars go like stink but look like Honda's. It's really tragic they can no longer design a car with visual appeal. Back in the 60's pretty much every car throughout the lineup of the big three were nice looking cars bar none.

All the pics I could find show it is a 4 door, But is doesn't look like no Honda thought!!

 

[mikedevore]

Does this mean that Disco is coming back?

I have seen road graders with better looking front ends than this.
Where are the port holes?

God I hope not!!!:rr:

 

[hemitheus]

So far from its roots. Pontiac did the same mistake when the reintroduced the GTO

 

[jtolbert]

You'd think GM would have learned from the GTO...

No, more like a NIssan

And the camaro

 

[Bulldozer]

and that retro truck thing chevy did

 

[Rob]

And the camaro

The new Camaro at least bares some resemblance to the original one, much like the new Chally does. The GTO and now the proposed Grand National look like any other ugly car out there and have no resemblance at all to the original versions. They're just bringing back the name for the sake of it.

The retro Chebby truck isn't too bad, in terms of looks, not at all practical though.
