I have never questioned its performance abilities. It was a nice car, I think they could and should have done better.
Do you think the Camaro would have been the sucess it is today if they had gone the same route as they did with the GTO?

The GTO was given to us because GM couldn't or wouldn't develop a Camaro/Trans Am. It is what it is but IMO a better car than a 4-door Charger or the 04 pre retro Mustang or 300 HP retro 05 GT
So bring this back to the original topic. GM isn't going to design a 80s looking Buick so they can offer you a retro looking GN. The Tempest based GTO came from nowhere and earned its reputation. Cadillac reinvented itself by not looking backwards too. Hopefully Buick can do the same
