im a @!#$ pussy ass liar! i lied to my girlfriend over and over, sat around with her friends naked and stayed home downloading porn...she loved me and i hurt her...i deserve to be alone and unhappy...no wonder every girl i try to love leaves me...i suck.
I like it, but def a photoshop and needs a little "de-ricing" the nice thing about the GNX is that it looked like it was plain jane. No visual thrills, but then it would blow the doors off your and you'd be sitting there with a pile in your pants.
i beleive the gnx will fail just like the gto.........its a good powerful car just butt ugly(womens car)

the name GNX belongs on only one vehicle. they shouldn't resurrect it.

that's what GM did with the new (old) GTO, but everyone hates them now for that same reason. they look like bloated cavaliers
Only a dream, chances of it are slim to none.

--Sam Brown
you guys are crazy!
GM finally gets there head out of there asses and talks about producing a car that kicks the hell out of any other car in it's class for <$40k and you're saying it's a bad idea???
GM is talking about a TWIN TURBO AWD sports car!? Why is this bad, this is a huge step in the right direction! I just hope it's true. And As for GM using names of past cars, I think it's cool, I agree that some of them are dumb, like the Malibu and the Impala, but I think the new Monte Carlo is worthy of the name. And as "ugly" as YOU think the GTO is, it's a 400hp car for $30k...what can you compare that to? Plus if you're so worried about the new cars have some of the old tradition, the GTO's have ALWAYS been plain looking cars, that was part of there charm, they are and always have been sleepers.

Buick -
GNX. No other name in automotive history says "80's Supercar" like those three letters. Now the legend is back.
Buicks 2007 GNX is a modern-day incarnation of classic street performance. When you turn the key and hear the throaty dual exhausts announcing the Twin Turbo 3.6L V-6, you'll know you have your hands full. Compared to its '80s namesake, the new GNX sports a suspension that is tighter, an engine that's more powerful and a manual transmission that now boasts two additional gears. The car will hit 60 mph (97 km/h) in about four-and-a-half seconds, and run the quarter mile in under 13 seconds. There's nothing like it in its class.
Total performance
The completely new GNX isn't just about horsepower, of course. Its unique personality includes impressive cornering abilities, a smooth ride and surprising comfort. But the heart of the GNX is indeed a truly awesome Twin Turbo and Intercooled 3.6l V-6 engine, also known as the base powerplant for the Buick Velite Concept. The GNX produces an estimated 450 horsepower and with 465 lb.-ft. of torque, it has no problem leaving a stop with purpose.
Eighteen-inch alloy wheels and performance tires are matched to a fully independent, performance-tuned suspension featuring direct-acting stabilizing bars and power rack-and-pinion steering. Traction control and a limited slip differentials also come standard. And, today's GNX revs through six forward speeds with the close-ratio manual transmission, or you can choose a six-speed Hydra-Matic. Both come with a 3.46:1 final drive ratio.
Performance-oriented interior
The GNX is, first and foremost, a driver's car. Every detail, from the satin-finish steering wheel to the race-inspired metallic pedals, gives the driver a sense of performance from the moment the car is entered. The standard feature list starts off with leather 2+2 bucket seats, in black -color-coordinated with the vehicle's exterior color. The high-tech seats provide lateral support, wrapping around the driver and front passenger and complementing the great handling characteristics of the chassis. Also standard is a six-disc CD-changer with premium 10-speaker sound system, cruise control, a multi-function driver information center, keyless entry system and a host of other features to enhance the driving experience.
Sensuous design
Rather than create an imitation of the original legend, the 2007 GNX provides a contemporary interpretation of the classic buick sports coupe. The distinctive, tautly stretched exterior, aggressive lowered stance and sleek, simple form all help express the clean, athletic styling direction of Buick. Add this to the obvious performance of the vehicle and you have a rear-wheel-drive TT+I V-6-powered premium sports coupe wrapped in a seamless, modern design.
Safety and quality
Bringing the GNX to a safe stop is accomplished through standard four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated front, solid rear), part of a four-channel anti-lock braking system. Other standard safety features include dual front air bags, three-point safety belts for all occupants and an Emergency Mode that automatically shuts down the engine, turns off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors and turns on the dome light any time the air-bag system is deployed.
Production of the 2007 Buick GNX will begin in September 2006 at Holden's award-winning Elizabeth plant in Australia using the latest techniques to ensure both measurable and "perceived" quality. Projected annual production will be 18,000 vehicles

Personally the GTO is an awesome car IMO......BUT i'd say your wrong about women not wanting speed...My mom just bought an 05' GTO, my neighbor has an 05' Mustang GT, a there is a girl that is always around here in m-town has a yellow GTO, urmm...My grandmother has an 99' Vette....there is some lol but any way I was just saying that statement is half-true......
personally i like the look of the new GNX, but id rather have it named something else. because GNX should be reserved for the 80's muslecar not some new car.

I can't believe thats a Buick, that thing is sweet! Take off the pinstripe and its golden.

Words that you can't use in modding: Finished, Perfect, Cheap.
Shouldn't the body be designed from the Monte Carlo to mimic how the Grand National used to be? It would only make sense to base the styling off of today's or the 06 Monte Carlo. Besides, I like the Monte Carlos.
Anywho, many people call it a photoshop and so did the guy who oriinally posted it.
i guess no one has read to the end of the thread on the mustang forum, they said its fake.

The GNX is a performance oriented Regal..............they currently don't make Regal's,besides have you seen the last generation Regal's.........old people cars......but thats just what the Regal was.
I ain't callin u a gold digga,but you ain't messin wit a broke cracka
Love it how people get worked up on something that will not come out.
You do realize that GM's contract with Holden shipping Monaro platform ends in 2007 model year and you guys do realize that the Holden Monaro has no room for a AWD. Lastly look at the weight on it, with AWD it weighs in less the GTO. lol
Chances are better if the Zeta platform (updated Monaro/Catera platform) is capable of AWD. The engine is doable.
But this one is Joe Blow's dream with photoshop.
