2012 Grand national rumor?
Has anyone heard about a 2012 Grand national? If this is true... I hope I dont see a sideways engine and front wheel drive ..EEEEK! ..some of these original designers are getting old by now. And if their punk kids get involved it might be a compact, whiney , chassis scraper..with an EMENEM inspired sound system ... It needs to be done right..(like the picture I guess)....But if it can't be done right, then it needs to be called SOMETHING ELSE! |

Re: 2012 Grand national rumor?
It's just a rumor ... the new Buick Turbo and the up-model Buick Regal Turbo GS are basically what the rumor stemmed from, IMHO.
Turbo EcoTec engine, available 6 speed manual and about 280 HP. Nice ride ... the wife is interested in maybe this as her DD, but has a tough time giving up the AWD in her V50. I've driving the Regal Turbo and it's a nice sedan. The extra HP in the GS should make it a lot more fun, but the GS is hard to find around here right now. I imagine they'll start stocking them in the next couple months though.

The designers are probably all retired now, and the designer of the "Power 6" logo has passed away. There is a good chance that the Opel GTC coupe will appear as a Buick turbo "hot hatch", but no chance of it being a "Grand National", IMHO.

A good review of the GS ... not a GN, but pretty darn impressive in it's class.
