Re: Coupe Considered for Buick
Question is, will it be the Riviera or a Regal coupe.

Re: Coupe Considered for Buick
Product for products sake is a poor reason for flooding the pipeline. Is there a purpose behind Buick, or is it just a dumping ground for "whatever" now?

I had the chance to chat with Cafaro last week.

Re: Coupe Considered for Buick
A bigger more comfortable coupe with AWD, that's what I want from Buick.

Re: Coupe Considered for Buick
I dunno, a 255-hp Regal GS coupe, replete with AWD and a tastefully-executed interior, seems like a no-brainer, particularly at, say, $35,000.

Re: Coupe Considered for Buick
about time - there is no sporty lux coupe except for CTS coupe - and that is far too high in price point.
GM needs something in the middle ground.
