This is one of my biggest beefs with auto makers, bringing back nameplates and ruining them, making them fwd, four door, slow, when in there day they where rwd, 2 door, they had style and power to boot!

I don't think the new car is ugly, but it isn't exactly exciting to look at either. I hardly would expect a Buick to be a 2 door anymore, but I'm satisfied if they really make it a powerhouse

They are calling it the Chevrolet Super Sport. And its hardly what GM needs IMO. This Buick idea is better then rebadging a G8
