Man, that's an awesome looking car, but I just don't see a Grand National in there.

However there's no reason they couldn't. But a GN or GNX with anything less then a turbo 6 seems like it would be a mistake. At least to me.

You can't just go injecting common sense into threads like these. It's a waste of time.

It looks good, but it doesn't fit the image of a resurrected GN IMO. It looks like a mean as hell sedan, but its hard to think of it as a GN.

I recall seeing this exact rendering SOMEWHERE (I just don't recall exactly where) probably two years ago... possibly even longer than that. Not sure what the context was, but I am pretty sure it was some discussion on C5, and multiple views of the car were shown... including some "mirror" images (passed off as "additional" pics).

Anyway... the rendering/ concept of this thing has been around for a while.

still... it's a 6... as in sounds like crap compared to a V8.

gimme a LS V8 with 400hp.

Good thing you already have a Camaro with a V8. This car isn't for you.

Looks like half the posters looked at the pics and did not read the article.

I thought this was already debunked?

Red2014SS · 03-06-2015, 05:11 PM

Well, I hope this car gets produced. We need all the performance cars we can get, while we can get them. I don't care what kind of engine it has, it's hard for me to get excited about a new Buick.

I know some of you guys will shoot me for saying this, but I cannot figure out why GM killed off Pontiac instead of Buick.

Do people actually believe this?

I won't believe it until I see it. This rumor has been around for years, yet still nothing official from GM.
