Here are some more information for Buick Grand National:
For the first time in 35 years Detroit's three car companies are locked in a muscle car war, one that hearkens to an era when big engines, rakish styling and speed were clear signs of automotive dominance. With the introduction of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro this month, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger now have a worthy and potent rival which could revive what was once one of the most exciting battles in the car industry. For brand loyal consumers, they know which car that they'll root for, but for everyone else it'll be a matter of choosing sides and going with the coupe that impresses them the most.
The timing of bringing the Camaro to the market seems terrible, given the high gas prices from last summer along with GM's current financial plight. However, strong interest from buyers is there with more than 10,000 pre-orders made. Indeed, if you want to buy the all-new Camaro, you'll have to wait four to six months for your coupe to arrive, such is the sales backlog.
The Dodge Challenger was rolled out in Spring 2008, just before gas prices peaked. Yet, the car's retro styling appeal to enthusiasts, proving to be one of the few bright spots for beleaguered Chrysler LLC, the builder of the iconic muscle car.
As for the Ford Mustang, sales remain robust though for February 2009, the Challenger managed to surpass the Mustang in units sold. That unexpected event raised quite a few eyebrows, but then it has been pointed out that the next generation Mustang is just weeks away from launch, strongly suggesting that many buyers are waiting until the new model is launched to purchase their ride.
The base Camaro is powered by a 3.6L direct-injection V6, a powerplant that will produce 300 horsepower while delivering a segment leading 27 mpg on the highway. Larger engines, including a detuned version of the Corvette's LS3 engine will also be available, giving drivers much more muscle than the standard Camaro.
The Challenger is available with a 3.5L V6, producing 250 horsepower while getting 25 mpg on the highway. Bigger and heavier than either the Mustang or the Camaro, the Dodge's main appeal is its circa 1970s styling. The most popular V8 is its HEMI powered motor.
The current Mustang is powered by a 4.0L V6 which produces only 210 horsepower, while delivering highway mpg of 26. By far the weakest base engine of the lot, most buyers who crave power will flock to a V8.
Though the three automakers are experiencing varying degrees of financial troubles, each company's muscle car offers a bit of sunshine amongst all of the gloom. Finally, perhaps the new models will help bring customers to Dodge, Chevy and Ford showrooms, stimulating sales across the entire model line, a needed boost in troubling times.

The New Buick Lacrosse
Edmunds and several leading automotive blogs are theorizing that Buick will finally go ahead and build a sport version of its popular LaCrosse midsize sedan. Unlike the original model, the proposed car will be a true roadster as Buick seeks to inject some youthfulness into its aging model line. This is big news for Buick, which hasn't built a true youth oriented car since stopping production of the hot-rod Regal Grand National during the 1980s. Will the Super Sport be enough to help Buick recapture a lost segment of the marketplace? That remains open to debate, so let's see what Buick is planning with the Super Sport and then you can decide for yourself.
For the past several years, Buick has been near the top in most customer satisfaction and quality surveys. After years of languishing much further down the list, Buick decided to truly emphasize quality and that move has paid off. However, quality cars are one thing while exciting cars are another. Quite simply, Buick hasn't been building cars that are high on the "wow" factor list. Sales have remained flat as the age level of its buyers continued to rise. Anyone who understands the business of cars will tell you that you must continually appeal to a younger audience in order to grow and prosper. Let's just say that even younger AARP drivers haven't been heavily drawn to the current Buick model line up.
As far as the Super Sport goes, the car is based on the concept Velite a car that has been appearing at auto shows over the past few years. Much like the Lexus SC430, the Super Sport will be targeting upscale buyers attracted to a combination of luxury, performance, and premium styling. While drive train information hasn't been finalized, reports of a 300 hp V8 being offered has been circulating. Likely, this engine will be mated to a six speed automatic. A 3.6L twin turbo producing more than 400 hp has also been rumored for the Super Sport, but that engine choice might be scratched if gas prices remain historically high.
Information about specific Super Sport features is rather limited, but if the car holds true to the Velite concept, buyers can expect the following with the Super Sport:
-- Heritage styling based on a late 1930s Buick boat tail design. Buick's recognizable waterfall grille design coupled with decorative side portholes are also expected to appear on the Super Sport.
-- 20 inch front wheels and 21 inch rear wheels; rear wheel drive.
-- Leather 2 plus 2 seating.
-- A retractable hood that will fit snugly into the trunk.
-- Full cabin amenities including OnStar and XM satellite radio switches integrated into the dashboard.
Beyond what has been listed, the rest is speculation including possible build and release dates for the Super Sport. GM's current financial woes will impact the final decision on whether to build this car, but if approval is given a 2008 or 2009 release is possible.
Yes, Buick needs a car of this caliper to breathe new life into a rather uninspiring line up. Prices for the Super Sport will likely exceed $40,000 limiting the car's appeal to those with significant means. Still, if Buick is able to pull it off the Super Sport it may pave the way for additional model changes, perhaps even opening the door for a Regal-inspired car to rejoin the line up. Now that would be great news for a brand that sorely needs a fresh youth injection.
