Just like a GNX, only all wheel drive.... and missing two cylinders.
RWD would have made me more excited for it though. :?

I saw this a little while ago on AutoBlog, and thought "hey thats cool"

I dont think they'll sell super well, but in the future, it might be a good car to grab drivetrain parts from

It may be a too much too late kind of thing unfortunately. Buick is barely holding on and I don't think that this will save it. Sweet car, but it might be more successful as a chevy.

Probably will be more of a hit in China... I hear they are the biggest consumer of the Buick line.

I dont know how or why, but I think the 'big three' in China are Buick, Cadillac, and VW

I'm surprised they'd choose VW over BMW. Must be the price point or economy of trade issue.
