Hmm ... GM still = teh suck.

BTW, the 4 speed auto used in the Vette is very sturdy unlike some other auto's we all know, and with the torque the LS2 makes, it doesn't really need 5 or 6 gears, but it's still something I'd like to see.

if buick produced that (i am aware that certain things wouldn't make it to production, but i am willing to bet most could) at a reasonable price it would single handedly bring an unbelivable ammount of respect (and sales) to the name

this is a very good looking car but dont hate on the XLR, that car is very very sweet, i just saw my first one on the road yesterday. its a bit smaller than i had imagined.
but titan said it, this would be a good car for Buick and GM but price is key, no one will pay over 55k for a Buick.

GM is getting more and more of a smaller company. As it should, if it is to survive financially. What they are trying to do is fix what sells right now and for the next 5 years. Then if numbers improve, they will invest in cars that help image and/or cars that enthusiasts love.
