I'm not an Acura fan (any more than I am anything else - I own more GM vehicles than anything), and I never said I didn't like the looks of the Buick. But speaking of Acura, the 2006-? version of the TL had the same or more HP from a silky smooth V-6, 6 speed manual trans, lower weight and better fuel mileage than this Buick. That was 7 years ago. I like the GS, and I'm glad GM is making it, but lets not get carried away...

it was a joke

Plasti-Dip that front grille in black and we have a winner.

The rest of you "it's a damn Buick", "it's wrd", "it's GM", et al, et al crowd - GET OFF MY BERKELEYING LAWN!"

In reply to Cotton:

Yes, I know. That's why I put a at the end just like you did.

In reply to oldsaw:

I was thinking it's wrd, but didn't want to say anything.

In reply to bravenrace:

I meant to type WWD, not to suggest it's werd or weird.

A Trifecta Tune is available for a little over $300 which should put this well north of 300HP, only adds a bit of peak boost, but also can eliminate the torque limiting programming for full boost earlier (and in lower gears).

GM even offered a 300HP tune for the Cobalt through GMPP, and the engine seems to be stout.

Given these are E85 capable, I imagine one could get a bit nutty if they wanted to.

Those are are my radar when it comes time to replace my 9-5.
