That would essentially be a ATS but they would need to price it at least $5k below a ATS with less interior refinement and base options.
So essentially just offer a cheaper ATS-V with buick badges on it? that is exactly why I think they CAN'T do a new GN. It would be the same car as the ATS-V most likely. IIRC aren't they having enough trouble moving ATS's?

I agree it would be a great car for Buick, but looking at it from GM as whole, IMO it would basically just be badge engineering. It would be a Buick ATS-V and I don't think it would be unique enough to warrant building it.
