Much like the Pontiac Trans Am and it's 400 & 455s.

Well, is Buick aiming at what Lexus WAS?

Lexus is going to have their "F" cars, and it seems they want to compete more with BMW, which is where Cadillac is headed. So why would Cadillac AND Buick be aiming at the same market?

Entry level luxury is getting crowded.

Should be was. Lexus is trying to emphasize more performance now. Not really what Buick should do though.

Before anyone rips the guy...remember, there are plenty of things posted here by "insiders" that supposed to be "straight from the horse's mouth" fact...and they never happen because the info was either misinformation, plain wrong, or GM changed their mind. There are some great sources here, but how many rumors actually pan out as described in the end? If all the rumors posted here were true, we would have an 09 FWD Grand Prix, RWD Monte Carlo, a line of Kappa based cars, and a line of Colorado based cars by now. Whenever they don't pan out people are quick to say "well it was just speculation and rumors". That being said, I really think it is wrong for someone to call a rumor BS because GM frequently changes their plans. Even if something is not the current course, it could be in 6 months. I wrote and article back in 2002 when the F-body dies basically saying their would be a 2004 GTO. It was a complete wild *** guess...that I threw in for the hell of it. I was even shocked when it did happen....and tried to play it off like I knew all along. So I would save any "I told you so's" untill their are cars on the street.
Reminds me of something I read about rumor-mongering in the computer industry -- Predict Early and Predict Often. That way you get enough right to gloat about in the long run
