Far better looking those rippled Mitsubitchi doors.

*yawn*. Buick's been on death row for years now. Selling cars to old
farts is Toyota's job now anyway...

Agreed! Gone are the days of Grand National, GNX, and muscle cars of the
late 60s and early 70s. The brand is tired, old, and has a loyal clientele
dying or too old to drive anymore. They might be able to revive the brand
if they focus on pimps and rappers. Bling up those big old cars, and launch
a new campaign! Spinners and gold accents standard! Get 50 cent as the
spokesperson , and every suburban 16 year old boy would be beggin their
daddy for one! A rebirth, and a whole new brand loyalty group. Or, they
could just sh#* can the old dead weight and save us all a lot of grief.

Yeah, kill it.

Or go back to their roots. What if they brought back something like the
Grand National built around the Pontiac GTO but with slightly different
styling. They could add a turbo and make something so awesome people stand
up and take notice.

Now theres an idea! With a turbo charged 3800! I'd buy that.

Great idea....therefore, they'll never do it. It a Murphy's Law Corollary,
applicable to General Motors specifically. Anything, that is a great idea
will in fact never make it to production. If it should somehow make it to
production, it will be ruined or discontinued the moment that they realize
that it is 'just to damn good.'

Chevy is already doing that. It's called the "Xtreme". Basically a Blazer or
S10 with some rice body kit. Same vehicle, but it's the "Xtreme" version.
Appeals to little white cappers that think a pickup is supposed to be
lowered.
