yeh,. but some new, more angular body panels might result in a brawnier and less stealthy look, more of the brute scary look of the mid-80's GN, looking like a bat out of hell....
just like before, the modest pontiac model should be overshadowed by the buick cousin... i don't think GM has the mindset allowing them to create a whole new vehicle for buick following it's current sales...
is there another GM model that you could see transforming into a new "grand national" possibly in other countries that i dont know about??
i figured that the new GTO is unique enough to allow them to transform it without having 90 clones all over the place....
maybe bring back the trans-am while their at it and make the GN off a new trans-am, possibly stiring up both pontiac and buick?
