I know some of you guys will shoot me for saying this, but I cannot figure out why GM killed off Pontiac instead of Buick.

I sure wouldn't shoot you. I miss my Ponchos.

Because Pontiac sold nothing but unprofitable rebadges of other cars, had no overseas market outside of North America, and by the time of its demise was basically a fleet brand to fill up Enterprise rental lots.

The only Pontiacs worth a damn by the end were the G8 and Solstice, and Solstice never made GM a penny.

Meanwhile, Buick prints money for GM thanks to China.

It looks too Lexus-ish and the back looks too BMW-ish.

FenwickHockey65 · 03-06-2015, 05:44 PM

Guys. This isn't happening. At least not for 2016.

GM's launches for MY2016: Spark, Cruze, Volt, Malibu, Camaro, Cascada, ATS-V, CTS-V, and CT6. Those are all that we know for sure. Possibly XT5.

And yes, there are proposals for something like a GN from Buick, however that's contingent on a lot of other things, particularly from Chevrolet.

Get used to it, it's the way our world is headed...smaller, more efficient engines. The new Ford GT has a V6. I'll take over 400HP, V6 or not...I like the Grand National.

Agreed, there is no way it could possibly come out as a 2016. The Gen6 Camaro is going to be a 2016 and we all know how long they have been developing that.

That picture is also a very poorly photoshopped Cadillac ATS. Come on just look at the razor sharp rear end with BMW lights pasted on it.

That's a rendering people.. Like someone else said, I'll believe it when I see it.

Q'smuscle · 03-06-2015, 06:08 PM

Sweet! For some reason it reminds of a BMW and a Cadillac!

Q'smuscle · 03-06-2015, 06:09 PM

But I have saw these on the net forever!

It has to be true if it was on the internet!

Some people think if they repeat rumors often enough it will eventually be taken as fact.

Aldo68 · 03-06-2015, 06:17 PM

I been hearing about this car for a while but its never from a credible source.

If Buick was making a V8 car like this, it would be a Gran Sport (no "d", Grand Sports were Corvettes) or GSX

I was confused too. What GN had a V8 from factory? Always turbo 6 kicking ass.

Also this is old, old news. -

It begs the question "is it possible to be ugly AND fugly...at the same time...".

The legend of the Buick Grand National is what got me back into exciting cars after years of the Infiniti route. Always will have a soft spot for them. My Camaro is black with gray interior as a shout out to the old GN's.

No idea if the GN will return, but that picture in first post is disgusting. This idea is a little better but again we will have to wait and see:
