If GN came back, it would likely be based on Alpha. Makes the most sense to me. It would be ridiculous to develop a new platform for it.

Also, it would be thoroughly modern....not retro, and honestly can't see any ties back to the 80s GN in styling even if it were a modern rendition (like I consider the 5th gen to be, and not really just full on retro). That car, while being pretty cool, is nothing at all that I'd want to see in a modern car.

All it would need to be is fast/aggressive looking coupe, with a powerful turbo V6 engine and it would be worthy of the GN name.

Would it really sell all that well?? Doubtful. A car like this, wearing the Buick name would come at a premium cost. How many of you out there would buck up the additional cost over a Camaro or something like that? Think Chevrolet SS (sedan) type costs or more.
