Re: My humble attempt at Buick performance...

looks good, but doesn't it seem a little small compared to the GTO? It almost looks Cavalier size rather than Monaro sized.

I think I like that even more than the Camaros. Dang.

I agree. I think having 2 coupes that are so different in personality would be a 100% excellent way to spruce up Buick.

To be honest, I don't see how Buick can have a future without at least 1 coupe or convertible to bring a little charge to the lineup. I strongly suspect GM is aware of this. I also strongly suspect they are going to rely on Pontac's coupe being in the same showroom to fit the bill.

Kris, as far as styling goes, I think it "ownes" the GTO, which probably means they won't consider it. If they don't recognize your talent, how can they appreciate this level of styling. Hats off bro...
(I can see paying $30K for this before a GTO..)

I would love to see a buick 4 door styled similar to this to compete directly with the Charger.

no.

Re: My humble attempt at Buick performance...

I think the GNX might be a good candidate for quad doors, RX8 style, what 'ya think...

I'd buy that in the blink of an eye if it made the right power.
