2.4L (182 hp) and 2.0L turbo (220 hp).

So apparently, the only qualification one needs to become a Buick designer is the ability to make "Grille B" fit into "Slot A."

If that's the case, there's hope for those Saturn and Pontiac designers who have recently lost their jobs.

I should probably mention Mercury, but I won't. I'm nothing if not hypocritical.

Ignoring the Opel I see EVERYWHERE, I see a bit of Mazda in the back.

Maybe Buick will make a Regal GS and use the Opel Insignia OPC. 2.8 V6 Turbo and AWD.

That may not be too far-fetched. It will come with a 2.0 Turbo 4 and six-speed manual.

If I don't like something I usually don't say anything . . . unless it is really bad! Everybody has their own personal likes and dislikes. People get too wrapped up in what others say sometimes as well. Just because someone doesn't (or does) like something doesn't mean they are attacking a person directly. (A little secret . . . . I am not the biggest fan of Bullitt wheels, but I don't hate them either. See . . . a little less love from Evil!! )
