You know the power wars are in effect when I read 350-400hp and thought aw, is that it? Given, it's a smaller ride but still.... looks very promising though!!

Hopefully it is fast, because right now most Buicks are pretty slow.

Cadillac seems to have taken the speed torch from Buick. The GN will take after the cad cts v. You can get that now, with 556 HP supercharged 6.2 v8. Doubtful Buick will match that performance. But should be more affordable. To be a true gn to me, it must be turbo!

Any idiot can build it strong, it's an engineers job to build it light.

The ATS platform upon which said Buick will rest is amazingly light already. Read the ATS tests out there. They DEFINE THE CLASS for steering and braking, just need a bit of tweaking on their shifter (YES! a stick is available!) and their details.

This will be an amazing example of a buick, and the 3.6 DI V6 is easily capable of 400+ hp in turbo form. At 3500 pounds this would be a rocket, much faster than anything from the "old daze", and should stop and handle like a top end BMW.

It's a great time to be an enthusiast.

My main issue with the Buick is the "me too" styling. It looks like all the other cars on the street and there's nothing special about its appearance.
