Most people don't know how legendary this is was. Most don't even think it was fast or sporty in any way. You show them a picture of a grand national and they say it's just an older car. This is not just an older car
They sold from 1982-1987. Not the longest life span for a car.
The car came with a turbo V6 producing 245hp and 355torque. That's more than the cars being built today. The FR-S only has 200hp.
0-60: 4.8 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.23 seconds
Top speed: 124mph
Sadly though in 1987 GM had to stop the production of the Buick because it was becoming faster and better selling than their legend the Corvette.
Buick now a days don't even have a sports car. Chevy has 2 sports cars (camaro/corvette), Cadillac has the CTS-V but Buick is just Buick. A boring elderly car.
The Auto Opinion
We believe that they should
Bring back the Grand National. It doesn't have to be a super fast car compared to the corvette but Atleast as fast as a Camaro. Buick doesn't have any character now. They're just boring. No excitement. GM spice it up!
