I hear people refer to the GN as a "Grandpa Car" now and then and I really don't understand the logic in that comment.
Historically, most true musclecars were based off family cars. Many of them were taxi cabs, police cruisers, 4-door models, wagon models, etc. Obviously these derivatives were owned by just about every demographic. Including Grandpas!!!
The same is true of the Buick Regal. It appealed to a broad age demographic and was a staple in the rental fleet.
So, when someone says "grandpa car" to me I immediately put them into my "Knucklehead" file.
I'll go on record as saying the GN is one of THE meanest looking musclecars ever, at least IMO.
So the next time some idiot in a Chevelle says "nice grandpa car" I guess I'll say at least they didn't make a 4-door wagon version of my car!
