2007 Buick Grand National

[GMPenguin]

Chop by Brangeta over at C&G, I think the top one (and bottom, just different color) is the real one, the others he was just messing around.  Enjoy. :)

Not bad.

[Tom]

That's a looker.

I'm hoping for the return, I couldn't believe they killed this car when they did.

[R33 GT-R]

sorry double post

[Secret Chimp]

That'd be fine for a better-looking GTO, but not as a Grand National.

They'd never bring back that name, not enough people are familiar with it.

I still see quite a few in my area, many take them to the strip as well.  They've all replaced their turbos with industrial sized models and what lag  they have.  When the turbo finally spools it gets ugly real quick.

I consistently see two very well kept Black grand nationals all the time.

I hope they were black since that was the only color option if I remember correctly.  I think they might have done a two tone black one year but I'm not for sure.

They were black.  Come to think of it, I have never seen a non black grand national.

Yep, I just checked.  GN vs. GNX above.

[Fire It Up]

I think GN's could be bought in white. But only black for the GNX.  

[R33 GT-R]

All specs I just found show color as black only for all years.

[Fire It Up]

Oh nvm, I was thinking about the Regal.

You had me second guessing so I did a quick search on autotrader and out of 50 plus GNs for sale all were black.

Actually many enthusiasts (that I've talked about it to) know what it is, and why does it matter if they know what it was?

And I think it's too, long hooded and backward cab-ish or whatever to be a GTO, I think the looks are perfect for a GNX.

Why?  Personally, I thought it was one of the ugliest cars ever built in the history of the world.  I've loved cars for years, and have never "gotten" why there's so much love for this thing.

Because they're having a very easy time selling the GTO...

A Buick GTO would sell even less than the Pontiac version.

The GTO's sales are picking up though.

They're still not selling 18K a year--and flooding the market with similar alternatives would destroy GTO sales, and probably mean lackluster GNX sales.  

Before Buick can sell a car like this, they've got to establish some more reputation with a younger crowd.  The Lacrosse CXS is a good start, but more has to be done.  Personally, I don't think they should make Buick a young, sporty brand.  Buick should be aimed at Lexus and Lincoln buyers, not BMW-philes.  Save a car like this for Cadillac.  Luxury and performance.  Besides, if the Art & Science the exterior up a bit, they can sell it for 40 grand.

I never said they should sell a GNX, just that its not as if the GTOs salse are so abysmal anymore.

9 or 10 thousand is abysmal, when they thought they could mark up and they'd have demand for 18K.  Ferrari says to make one less than you think you can sell, but GM seems to have made 9 thousand more.

It was a weekend hot rod, that's why I liked them.  I used to love to watch them eat up Mustang notchbacks and camaros at the street races.  This old ugly duckling out there spanking ass and taking names.

And I'm fond of turbos spooling up.

Well, that we agree on.

Whoa Raza, take it easy on that smiley...this is the second thread in a row I opened that you've used it :o

It's the quickest way to show I "wub" something.

You got a problem Tom, I'll take you out, bitch.
