Re: Would anyone take this Buick?

That's the type of car Buick needs.

What kind of price range would a car like this be in?

The front needs a good amount of work to make the design fit. it just doesnt run together all that well IMO. from the back it looks great tho

If Pontiac doesn't want a Torana variant, Buick should jump on it.
If you want to compete with Lexus, an IS300 competitor would be nice.

Re: Would anyone take this Buick?

it needs the nose to be redone, and the waterfall grill needs to die. Most other car companies don't use a styling gimmick from the 1970's. But it looks great otherwise. I'd say build it, this is what Buick needs. And this is what the LaCrosse should have looked like.

Re: Would anyone take this Buick?

Some of that trim needs to go.

Metallic gas caps =

Other than that, it looks better than their current offerings by quite a bit.

Looks pretty cool. Would be a excellent coupe. I think its time for Buick to loose the circular grills and move on to something new.

It's okay, I guess, but it has way too many doors...

Looks very hot, Buick needs that. Offer the 300HP+ V8 and people will say Lexus who? That thing would blow the IS300 away.
