I think it would probably sell like the GTO. No doubt in my mind it would probably perform well, but again that wasn't the problem with the GTO either. People were expecting a GTO and got a Sunbird/Grandprix...thingie. In other words, if you are going to make a play on people's nostalgia, you have to give them something to be nostalgic about.
It's called Limited Production, Black is the only color, flat black package special rims, grille blackout, etc. It wasn't like the GN was a major departure styling wise from the stock Regal in the 80s. IMO that'd be more in line with the nostalgia thing. Looks like a Regal..but isn't a Regal.

It's Darth Vader's Car.
