first of all, what's a goo pile?? im not here to hate on buick, buicks arent bad cars but i never really cared much for their styling over the years. compare the bonneville to the lesabre, the lesabre is equally as good of a car, they share the same drivetrain, but the bonneville just looked sporteir. the bonneville was "luxury with attitude" the lesabre was just there, it was grandma's car. the lesabre had no equal to the SSEi, it was never offered with an L67. i was pissed off when they discontinued the bonneville, the car had almost as long of a history as the corvette. longer then the mustang, longer then the camaro. the regal was a better looking car and while i wouldnt mind having a regal i just think the GTP looked more like a sports car. if you go back in history the regal t-types and grand nationals were king but that was years ago.
yes, i also know that the 3.8/3800 was a buick design originally, did that make it a buick division engine? the pontiac division had no shortage of great performance engines back in the muscle car era. pontiac had a long, long colorful history filled with mostly successful products that had plenty of character, building mostly cars that were fun to drive. they had some failures but quite a few of their products were just fun to drive. buick had the GN, the gsx, and the grand sport but not much else.
