Thread: 2016 Buick Regal GN/GNX

Surprised this hasn't come up yet:

"After a 30-year hiatus, the Buick Regal Grand National and its high-performance Regal GNX variant are expected to make a return sometime in the 2016-2017 time frame. Here is some information we’ve gathered about the 2017 Regal Grand National and Regal GNX. This page is a continuous work-in-progress and will be updated on a regular basis as we await any official details from General Motors and Buick."

Regals always looks evil.

I'd buy it if it doesnt get the typical turbo 4 or another n/a motor.
Can we do a 380hp+ w/turbo so with aftermarket add-ons it could be a beast ?

with all the gizmo's and crap...still wood prefer turbo 3800 catera with opel cladding

According to the article, the GXN will be a twin turbo 3.6L V6 rated at 400+hp.

yeah...no 3.8... no care

At my work we have some Impalas with the 3.6, na obviously...they got some balls for a v6, cant imagine what it will be like with a turbo!

I suppose that's possible. I hope not though.

I do remember in late 2008(?) when a fifth gen Camero was just an internet rumor. Then it happened.

they don't make a 3.8L motor anymore, get over it.

****, they should only be making .5L increment motors anyway. physics be damned, they're GM and continue to make retarded sized motors.

This has popped up numerous times on the GN forum. They have been "talking" about it for 10 years now.

Unless its a coupe only available in black its going to be done wrong. Actually its GM. It'll be done wrong.

Leave the Grand National out of this..... Just leave it alone

But they won't. Because pushrod V6's in GM is deadsauce for the car market.

from what i recal of the new 60*v6 DI architecture i dont know if ya can swing the 38xxcc "3.9" rotating assembly into the new engines as that was a large bore 3.6 variant? probably not doable in the new DI hardware/block

it sucks the bore spacing was reduced with the 60*

your dinosaur 3800 technology is also queer.

i daily drive a CTS-V, how can i hate american muscle? you cray.

i love the idea of the new GNX, but reversing time and putting something the opposite of modern in it for nostalgia sake is pure retardism.

But now everyone hates you because you said cray.

You hipster.
