    Buick needs to get its act together. It has been improving in recent years, but it still has a way to go. Make suggestions here, dreams of what Buick should do.

    I, personally, think that this would be a great model for a new Regal Grand National. GM may not have a V-6 with enough performace, so we could always step up to a V-8. Anyways, just change the styling a bit more, and put in a small, powerful, turbocharged and intercooled engine, and I, for one, will drool.

    Base Price: $25,000

    Buick could also revive the Riv. Take the Sigma platform(Cadillac CTS) and make it into a coupe, attractively styled. Put in the LS-1 (350 hp) engine, slotting it nicely between the CTS and the CTS-V.

    Base Price: $37,000

    Or, alternatively, the Riviera could be put on the new STS platform, and then we could put the Skylark on the Sigma platform. Make the base engine the LS-1 (350 hp), and then have Gran Sport versions with both the LS-6 (400 hp) the LS-2 (400 hp) engine (C-6 Corvette).
    Of course, have it tuned a bit so it's a bit less than the yet-to-be revealed Zo6 Corvette, but still much more than the standard version.

    I'm sorry if this has already been done before many, many times (and I expect so, being as someone has that GN pic as their avatar), but I just wanted to say this.

    I agree.

    I personally would like for them to build something like that with a 400" motor in it and call it a GS-400. :TU:
