They'd make a killing if they reintroduced the GN again (if it was done right).

That original post was a mish/mash of nonsensical info and was painful to read but I'll chime in anyway as I think I got the gist.

GM has the awesome direct injected V6 already in the arsenal and could theoretically build a coupe from the upcoming Camaro platform. Turbo the V6, paint it black, and VOILA!!! new age "GN" or "GNX". Maybe they could release it in 2012 as a 30th Anniversay to the original GN or the 25th Anniversary of the GNX? Buick seems to be on life support and could use a kick in the pants but seems that GM is keeping Buick their "psudo-lux" brand and hence won't approve another "gentleman's Muscle Car". Oh well, we can dream.

Twin Turbo Mustang???

I read an article while waiting for a plane last week that dicussed Ford's possible plan to use a twin turbo V6 in the mustang to get V8 GT performance and gas milage to meet the new requirements on the horizon. The fear at Ford is that no one will buy it!

Guess they should read the Buick GN history book!
