      I like the idea, but it should be Best Used In Corvette Killing if they do make it.
      The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

      Def. of insanity: "Doing the same thing you've always done and expecting different results"

      GM hasn't learned their lessons yet. Further down the rabbit hole they tumble. "Doc, their coding; grab the crash cart quick!"

      Even if the build something close to this Buick/GM will Granny-style it and remove all the edge that makes it attractive. How is it that they have failed to realize the middle generation market now grew up with muscle cars and like a little style? The market segment that grew up with the 40's and 50's sedans have moved on and yet they are still trying to market to them.

      Buick/GM- I'm available for hire if you need a little help!

      i agree duke. just like the new camaro if it comes out. It does look sweet but thet will dumb it down to appeal to the lexus, bmw, mercedes crowd that thinks our hobby is low class. and therefore wont think to buy such a vehicle. Snobby rich snobs

      Too small looking. Need to stretch it a bit for a GNX. Neat design though. It might make a better BMW or Lexus fighter.

      I like the idea. Looks great, but as said above... Does GM really think this will get them out of the hole? or will it put them further down it?

      You've never played LaCrosse have you...try it, you'll see it is neither gay nor French.

      Just out of curiosity....

      Why are they naming cars after cities in Wisconson when they have always been in Flint?

      BTW, Buick is essentially the parent company of GM since it was the largest when Durant began buying up Cadillac, Olds etc.

      Hockey is a game for people who aren't tough enough to play lacrosse.
      GM showed their lack of balls when they decided not to use the Lacrosse name up here in Canada because a small percentage of the country considers the word slang for :bsjerk: . Political correctness gone berserk.

      I know the GNX label from the 80's, but wasn't it also used in the 70's?
      If it was just the 80's then a new one would have to have a turbo.
      If it was also a 70's thing then maybe they could get by with an LS7.

      i say build it but i don't like it personally. i just think GM needs to get on the ball and this is a step in the right direction. they need to tone it down a little as its too ricerish. it looks like it has a body kit on it already. too many points on a curvy body
