400hp twin turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Let's hope there's a GNX level somewhere in there.

I like that Hyundai genesis coupe from the rear

Ats-v coupe is more powerful and available manual, probably not significantly more expensive. Camaro uglier, but also more power, way faster and likely cheaper.

I can't really see how any enthusiast would choose the buick.

maybe they'll pull a Ford, and have the production look almost just like the concept... yet uglier

Aside from the Verano and SUV's, there isn't a Buick I wouldn't buy from the current lineup
(I've owned German and Jap too).

The American's are steppin up their game, and I'd be proud to own one!

P.S. The new Regal GS is fookin' sexy!!!

The Verano has awkward styling but that Turbo version is a sleeper of sleepers. 0-60 in 6.1 sec and you can get it with a M6 transmission PogChamp

Trifecta tune with E85 on that 2.0T motor got some people 80hp gains

Regarding Avista, GM insiders have revealed that the car was greenlit as a 2018 model year. The only details I have are they will add an actual B-pillar and obviously reduce the concept elements inside and out. No word on engine choices. Could be a poor man's ATS-V or better looking Camaro. May wear the GN badge but no hints were dropped. They might call it the T-Type with a higher performance version badged as the GN. Who knows.

i hope the grill is not the traditional buick. hate that chrome gated grill, makes the car for senile men still.
