Of course, the modern "Buicks" aren't. The last real Buick was the '96 Roadmaster but, though a nice car compared to contemporaries, it was hideous and by no means in the same league as the great 60s Buicks.

Modern "Buicks" are Buicks like Howard Stern is Walter Cronkite.

I've said this before, but if VW would put the old Karmann Ghia body on their new Beetle platform they could not keep them on the lots.

Nissan Z Turbo edition to compete with the Corvette. Not claiming to prefer the Nissan, it was just competition.

I think the Buick Grand National would be a serious competitor for the recent wave of the newer retro styled domestic muscle cars.


It would have to be done right though keeping the V6 turbo and a six speed with the nameplate. Hell, even make it four wheel drive.

all the new Regals seem to have a variant of a 2.0

I think I misinterpreted the title question.

When I had an 86 Olds Cutlass station wagon, on its last legs, I was shopping around and an Olds dealer pointed to it and said "If I had a hundred of those on the lot right now, I'd have them all sold by the end of the day".

I wound up with a '93 Toyota Previa, which, all things taken into account, I think is the greatest car ever built in the world. There will never be anything like it again, for practical bullet-proof utility.. I saw one go by yesterday. It brought tears to my eyes.

Great minds think a like I was on the same wavelength when I read the question. The first name that popped into my mind was Daniela Pestova but since it is automotive... since you went first, I'll go with Jill Wagner

Or going farther back, how about Pat Priest with the Munster Koach?




Don't know how the naming rights would be handled, but I'd be interested in seeing someone like a Tesla Motors try doing a throwback of 1931 Peerless.


Peerless (all that the name implies)

Another model that I always lusted after but could not justify (even though the price was not bad IMHO) was the Pontiac Solstice. Every time I see one I wish they still were available (new). I always thought they would be a good car to collect......
