I was seriously considering putting mine up for sale but not anymore.

So that you can have a new one and a classic?

One never knows, just have to play the wait and see game. I just paid off my Corvette and really don't want to play the car payments game again.

We'll see. Lotta talk by gm these days. I dunno if it would really make sense. Camaro is going to be on that platform for 2015my as well. Sooo a $30k camaro, $40k Buick, and $50k caddy all with very, very similar v8 specs? It invites a lot of buyers on different budgets, but that might promote cannabalism of each other model.

Also, it's not set in stone for the atsv to get the v8, it might get a caddy specific turbo 6 making 400+hp. I haven't heard any hard evidence pointing either way yet other then the "a v8 will fit" for it as well.

I think Buick's current design is a monstrosity, I can only imagine a grand national to have ridiculous design cues making it further ugly. We'll see.

I'm in the process of picking up a stage 2 motor Gn(9 second street car)
IMO I hope they don't build that thing it's anything but mean looking

JJS04

I like concept, but 4 doors??? That's what I hated about the Charger.

It'll probably be slower than we think it will be, knowing Buick.

Buick did the original Grand Nationals and GNX and they were exceptional performers for their day. So Buick definitely knows how to do it.

I agree that the car will not be very quick , just look at the platform!!! Uggggg, Gm won't let history repeat itself, as the 86 and 87 turbo buicks, dominated every sport car GM put out, camaro, T/A, and their Halo car called the corvette.

The Grand National, Turbo T, and GNX should be left alone they are legends and IMO one of the toughest, meanest muscle cars ever created, I hate when GM tries to make a buck off a name.

If you we're strictly a corvette guy( I was a vette guy but was still a few years from getting my Permit ) , you weren't very happy in 86 and 87.

Still to this day one must be very weary when you line up with a turbo Buick , you can't really tell a 10 second GN from a 14 second GN.

Silent but deadly..

tomsws6

Unless your in a 89 TTA..............

NytmereZ

Love the 89TTA , basically the same LC2, but in an F-body, not G,they are heavier and defiantly much harder to set up to hook, it is just not timeless, and defiantly not a legend like the GN is IMO.

tomsws6

Just different heads....but I believe they were actually the faster car down the 1320 stock for stock. Either way they are both amazing. The GN just looks badazz and evil...

TurboTnZ06

Just like the 87 Buick was faster than the 87 Corvette

GN1270

First the mystique behind the Turbo buicks is a turbo. The other mystique is that it was faster than the corvette with a 6 cylinder engine. What can the market possibly be? You already have the CTS-Vs at reasonable pricing with 556hp so you have your luxury sports coupe already out there. Seems like they will compete against themselves.

NytmereZ

They are just trying to make a buck out of the name, they should leave these cars alone, just like they should have left the GTO alone, don't mess with a legend.

These turbo buicks go for the same price or more than they were new, and the GNX? I haven't seen one under 75k, more than double the price, they are special cars, and should be left that way.
