    Default DO WANT: Buick?

    I know it is an Opel, but I think it looks pretty good in Buick badging too.

    And look ma, 3 pedals.

    And maybe they will bring over the turbo 6 VRX model for a GNX badge...

    The internet must be broken or something. Three pedals in a Buick?

    Wow?

    The only gripes I have is the mirrors look a little big and the continuity and flow of the lower grills up front.

    Oh boy!

    I like it.



    And about it being an Opel...Saturn went by the wayside so they have to rebadge them as something...

    check it


    I hope ours will get a "GS/GNX" button.

    I can dig it, even in a 2.0 SIDI only, lots of speed parts available.

    Are you trying to say that you dislike the seats?

    I think those interior views look like the best Buick sold interior I have ever seen.

    The insignia is quite good from what I have heard, i'd consider one, esp second hand once it depreciates. I'd hafta badge it properly as an opel though.

    I feel bad... the Saab guys are now going to be wondering in the GM darkness looking for a new place to hang their heads... most will probably end up in Evos and Enclaves.

    Godspeed Saabaphiles.

    Yeah, it's a bit hard for me to get past the technology raping that GM did, but still. That looks like a hell of a car.

    It's probably going to deprecate like a saab too, so in a few years...

    I wonder if this is going to be plagued with 12+ hour intake manifold gasket jobs like some other GM engines though... if so, no thanks.

    I don't know too much about the ecotec, but it's won some awards, and is has been pretty well-received.

    wow that is sweet, my winter ride is a Buick. Time to upgrade!

    I like any badge that's in the shape of a     circle.
