By the way, y'all should read the comments at Autoblog. When was the last time a Buick was this well received?

30's? like a camaro ss? no wayy haha thats a nice price. maybe for the turbo 4banger is in the 30's, but im thinking the turbo 6 is in the low to mid forties?

They will probably price it to compete with the SHO

Seems to be on par with the Saab 93 Aero...looks to be the same engine as well? Is this a new platform or is it sitting on the Saab platform? Looks to be about the same size...

Maybe there will be a couple models like Saab had...straight 4 banger, turbo 4 and then the AERO (hint...GS) with the turbo V6.

Didn't the Saab have a 3.8 turbo from a Caddy...??

I like it...certainly a nice look ride and the interior is just as nice!

It's on SWB Epsilon-II. Brand-new platform.

The SRX has a 2.8T.

Legend · 01-07-2010, 01:06 AM

Yep...just looked it up...Saab was on the Epsilon I platform...this will be Eplison II...but same family as far as platforms go.

Yeah the 2.8 what what I was thinking...nice little engine and would go good in this too! I loved my Saab 93 Aero when I had it...this is nice too!!

Sorry, does nothing for me. Too many doors

I've been on the fence about this car for some time now. Now I'm back to liking it. The color on that car though isn't its most flattering I gotta say.

They price this right and make it AWD...Good Lawd. I might have to rethink buying the Volt. Even moreso depending how they price the Volt.

I like the direction Buick is going. Alot of people are going to say this steals Cadillac's thunder, but I always thought that some in house competition is healthy. Case in point, when I was younger I used to kick my cousins ass handily. His MMA record is now 4-0.

What is the official purpose of Buick now though, aside from conquering China?
Whatever it is I'm liking it.

Its called "Going Fast With Class" which has a maturity level curve on when your ready for both.

You can look high class but still kick some assssssssssssssssss.

*Mindz* · 01-07-2010, 05:46 AM

looks too bubbly imo.

Less curves please.

The direction is great, styling is still lacking slightly.

i think mid-30's would be reasonable, we had a '99 Regal GS, it's 3.8L supercharged and i seem to recall it being somewhere in that mid-30's range. that's a nice car though

i like

2010 SSRS · 01-07-2010, 08:02 AM

pretty cool for a 4 door car, throw on 5% tint all the way around.

MSG' · 01-07-2010, 08:11 AM
