I saw this on a bike site. It is supposed to be the 2007 GNX.
450 hp

GTO clone which means wait a year and get it cheap.

I think it's a fair bit better looking than the GTO (maybe it's the all blacked out look)... Wonder what the powertrain is??? I'd love to see another Turbo6, but I doubt it. Probably just another LSx V8...

[BillyGman]

sorry, it doesn't do anything for me. It still has that door wedge shape just like the GTO. I'd much prefer the 07 Shelby GT500 which will have a broader powerband. Just my opinion folks.

[David Morton]

I must agree with BillyG.

It's a door stop, so if I shop,

I'd hate to be saying, "Dang,

I coulda had a Mustang."

[Haggis]

Keep it I have a MARAUDER!!

Interesting discussion on the Buick GN.

Spin the clock back to 1986. Anybody remember what the top selling car was in 1986. It was the Olds Cutlass. Sold more than 400K of them. So GM, in their inifinite wisdom, decides to screw with it. Lets downsize it and make it FWD. If we build it they will come, right???

They had something with the Buick GN, Monte SS and Pontiac 2+2 but they killed it, just like every other good idea they have had in the last 20 years.

Sorry for the rant. Sometimes it seems like we're the only ones left on the face of the earth that aren't awed by "European Styling"

Just one more. I like the 07 Camaro. Think it will make it to market that way. Nooo. They'll have to round over the nose to make it more aerodynamic. Just once, couldn't they give the middle index figure to aerodynamics for some STYLE and stick with it. (And no, the brick they call a Hummer does not have any style.)

OK, Prozac is kicking in. Yes, much better. Ha, Ha

Buick's Velite concept (pictured below) is regarded as a preview of the upcoming Buick Riviera. It's based off the same platform as the GTO. The concept was powered by a twin-turbo 400 hp 3.6L V6. There's you're GNX power train, waiting to be dropped in

Having owned a couple I'm interested in seeing a new Camaro. The redesigned Mustang, and Dodge's hemi-powered vehicles may help push it. There's a lot of talk about it... Right now, it's pretty much just that. Talk

Here's the latest rumor:
Holden will introduce a concept called the Torrana at the Sydney International Auto Show. The revived Torrana will be a V6 powered four door based on a HEAVILY modified version of the Kappa platform. This new platform will be almost midsized, and almost certainly will include room for a V8 engine, and a backseat. Rumor has it that GM has taken two approaches to developing a mid-sized RWD car. One is GM North America's idea, which is the larger version of Kappa platform we see in the Torrana. The other, earlier Australian proposal was to make a smaller Zeta. The GM NA Kappa based proposal won, and is now moving through development.

This is rumored to have put the folks at Chevy in an interesting situation. Almost everyone knows that Chevy will have a mid-sized coupe that will debut with the new GTO in 2007. The assumption up until now has been that this Chevy performance coupe would share the GTO's Zeta platform, but have much tighter styling and be named "Camaro". However, now that this extended-Kappa has come along, it is rumored some Chevy people are saying "Hey wait a minute!” There are grumblings that the Chevy performance coupe that we all think is going to be the Camaro, may be given a different name instead. Then Chevy would develop a Camaro much truer in proportion on the new "extended-Kappa" platform with V6's and V8's. The rumor going now says that this is just in the consideration stage, but a decision will need to be made soon; as the Zeta based Chevy performance coupe is nearing several production deadlines. It is unknown if switching platforms would delay the Camaro's return, or if so, how many years. Fact of the matter is, Chevy wants something to counter the Mustang and upcoming Dodge pony car ASAP.

Call me crazy, but if you really want to know what that body style reminds me of, I have to tell you that the grill and the hood of that hideous car reminds me of the creature in the movie "Jeepers Creepers" ..... look at the pics below and tell me if that thing's forehead looks like the hood and the grill on this car to you. Because it sure does to me.

[David Morton]

You're not crazy Billy, it does resemble the creature.

I think it's styling is just too "busy".

Too many lines and angles. The mid '90s Impala was the last really good body style GM had. And I thought it was a bit "pantherish".

Seems GM has been doing a lot of that in the last few years. Maybe that's why their sales are tanking.

I think the car would look better if they just put a plain flat hood on it. AKA, no scoops.

[BillyGman]

yeah, that hood just makes it look like the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"...just put some type of marine life set of ears on the front wheel wells , and it can be the star in a cheap Horror flick.

Sorry people. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I couldn't resist. Forgive me if I've displayed bad manners.

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

I had a "real" GN from 87-01. I miss that car.

This one looks good but seems to small.

[Bobby Clobber]

I thought Buick was in trouble and G.M. was contemplating discontinuing the brand much like what happened to Oldsmobile?

Buick may be out of business before 2007.
