For the record, this is the FIRST american car I have liked in a LONG time. Sure the 50's and 60's were great, but this car is gorgeous. How it will drive is another story, but it sure is a looker

It does look good. Buick seems to have changed their design language to be more artistic with sloping body lines. Their new Enclave doesn't look that bad in my opinion, but I still would never get an SUV, except for maybe a Cayenne GTS, that exhaust note is sex.

Looks like an X6.

i thought buick went the way of the dodo..i was wrong

Interior looks ripped from a Benz, the exterior ripped from a Lexus. Buick is the new Hyundai.

While it won't use it, people still swear by the 3.8 V6 and for good reason. Before GM let it rot on the vine, it made decent HP, decent fuel economy, and was damn near bulletproof. It will most likely use the 3.6 DOHC V6 that is found in the CTS, Enclave, etc. Maybe even the DI version.

o wow looks very curvy and futuristic. I think buick might have a hit if they stick to those drawing plans.

But i bet you, once that comes out, alot of people will be replacing the grille with Bently/Rolls Royce knock offs and putting some Ds on that bitch.

b335i · 06-05-2008, 01:39 PM

Looks like a cool car. Doubt they will stick with the design.

E90SLAM · 06-05-2008, 01:43 PM

finally....they create something that make sense and makes your feel you're in 21st century....
hope they will put it in production....or else it'll be a pity...

Yeah, they axed Oldsmobile, but kept the Buick. Tiger Woods is the Buick spokesperson now.

phantom330 · 06-05-2008, 04:24 PM

I think they should bring back a modern version of the GN....

RBP · 06-05-2008, 04:24 PM

I'm sure Buick will figure out a way to turn this in to yet another american piece of crap.

SunnyBoo · 06-05-2008, 05:04 PM

I like it very much.............not bad at all from Buick..........

lyndon_h · 06-05-2008, 06:40 PM
