funny how a badge can make such a big difference.

The Opel Insignia sells pretty well over here, most of them are Diesels.

and the OPC is a 2.8 V6 Turbo with 320 PS (little less in hp), AWD and 400 Nm torque

it's a huge image improvement for Opel, it won tons of prizes

It would be fun to drive for a daily though, but it won't blow any doors off. An intake and downpipes would probably wake it up, with an ECU tune. It's probably got 2-3 cats on it.
I don't think they had this car in mind to be the same as every other Honda.

I think they want to stay away from the body kits, double decker wings, vtec, and the other bullshit.

Yeah, I guess that doesn't seem like a lot to a Viper owner.

Now it looks like GM is up to some of their old tricks again. Just when they come up with a good idea, they let the bean counters fuck it up. The production GS in all likelihood will lose the AWD. And who knows what other cool stuff. Eh...oh well.

If this is holds true...I'm losing interest. Back to eyeballing used 2010 SHOs.

Thats actually somewhat surprising. I understand that they have a fascination with american cars, but I wouldn't expect newer-model buicks to be in there.

The regals current platform came out in 09 and the lacrosse in '10. You really think they are already drastically changing it?

No, my point was there was nothing about the all-new GS listed on their site. And that is what this thread is about lol

I started the thread and I'll quote whatever source I think is relevant. Currently there is only a little information about the upcoming REGAL GS on Buick's site.
Any of their info on that car is contained within here:
Regal GS | Future Vehicles, Future Cars, Concept Cars | Buick

There had been a lot of speculation that the new GS could be offered in AWD guise just like their "show car" GS and the production Opel it's based on. And, since GM's own Buick site doesn't announce nor denounce that AWD could at least be an option, I was just seeking other news on that. A direct quote from GM brass on another non-buick site might have summed that up for me. That's why I posted it. See, no big deal.
