Snake45 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Buick hasn't made anything I really, REALLY like since 1967. Oh, they've made some nice cars, just nothing that spun my particular windmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 That's pretty neat, It may not be the best looking thing in the world but its cool to have the Grand National name back. I wonder if there will be a turbo V6 option?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks like GM flushing more money down the toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 a desperate attempt to look "European"? jb Looks more Japanese or Korean to me. Another attempt to market to a segment that would never buy a Buick, and still won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that Buicks sell very, very well in China, of all places. In fact, that's the main reason GM still builds Buicks and not Pontiacs.

Tom Geiger Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I seem to recall that Buicks sell very, very well in China, of all places. In fact, that's the main reason GM still builds Buicks and not Pontiacs. Yes, back when American cars were sold everywhere, a Buick was a prestigious car in China. A car that a plant manager would drive. That image remains today and GM sells more Buicks in China than in the USA. In fact one of my contacts at my company facility in China was proud to tell me he drives a Buick Century. I prefer Buicks to Chevys.... I've owned a 1960 Electra 2 door hardtop, a 1973 Electra 225 4 door hardtop and currently own a 2005 LaCrosse with 34,000 miles on it. Note that Buick was recently named on of the most reliable cars, way up there in Japanese territory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Note that Buick was recently named on of the most reliable cars, way up there in Japanese territory! So there's, like, a lot of quality and reliability differences between GM's lines? Really? Oh, riiiiiight. The people who answered the POLLS said so. Gee... how we perceive reality boggles the mind.

slusher Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 According to the link, it's a real 2015 Grand National GNX. I like it. I Like it also except the wheels and tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Where I come from, & I drive for a living, most of the Buicks you see on the road are old guys who really shouldn't be driving any more! I've always thought that they fall into a Mercury Marquis, Buick LeSabre "syndrome" category. Once you get to a certain age, you can't really handle driving anymore, so you need to wrap as much steel around your ass as possible! Unless you're a tree hugger, then the environment is more important than your own life, so you buy a Prius! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 All beautiful Bill! Although the first one may be just a bit over the top! They certainly don't have the "style" today that they did back then! I may be old fashioned, but I have a really hard time getting excited about any thing on the road today.

Bill J Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hmmm, looks like someone added some horsepower or the perception of horsepower to a really ugly 4 door sedan and they are hoping someone will pay some outrageous price to be seen in one. Fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrherald420 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If this does become a production car we will see them at our work before most of the public will see them at a dealership......GM loves to do a Lend/Lease with us to find faults with their new models.

Danno Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 That's sweet . . . for a Buick. I'm good with it . . . as long as they don't have an optional padded vinyl top with gold cross bars and "gold package" trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Is its engine facing the correct direction and powering the proper wheels ? If it's a rear-drive arrangement , then I'm okay with it ... as uninspired as its design is and all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
