Too bad.
It looks good and has a manual.
Too little power and it's going to the wrong wheels.

Missed opportunity.

I read the story here: http://autospotters.com/2012/02/07/2...modern-day-gn/

 

That is definitely a missed oppurtunity. Good looking vehicle though.

 

Yeah, I recently learned the same thing. GM dropped the ball here, since they could have had a great performance vehicle on their hands. Oh well...

 

Definitely not enough muscle but boy it's good looking.

 

Buick has really stepped it up in the last two years. I've gotta say it's a good looking car, and comes with the proper gearbox.

 

Yup, nice looking car though.

 

Great looking car inside and out. But again... wrong wheel drive . With that said, I am still considering one as my future daily.

 

The Biggest disappointment is that allwheel drive and a larger turbo V6 are offered for that chassis in the form of the Opel Insignia OPC. Although I understand the V6 was a Saab designed unit so I am sure the split complicated use of Patents and technology.
