    To all those saying that we would just piss and moan about Buick and not actually buy one, I'd just like to say:


    I'd buy a Buick. They seem to be on the money lately.


    If you don't believe me....um.....I'll get wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx to hold you down.

    This seriously chaps my nuts in ways that Gold Bond medicated powder can't even fix.


    I mean, really? We have put up with shitty Buick after shitty Buick since the conception of the Grand National/GNX. What do we get for our years of pain and suffering? Slapped in the face, with a mushroom stamp.


    Dear, Buick.
    I hate you.

    In reply to 2010 Opel Insignia OPC, Vauxhall VXR Gunning For Audi S4
    The ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) translated the press release from the original German to this:


    GM, Opel and Vauxhall (collectively known as General Borg, or GB for short) announce the 2010 Opel Insignia OPC/Vauxhall VXR/Never Gonna See This in the States.


    The turbocharged 2.8L V6 in the Opel Insignia "OLE for Process Control", or OPC, will put out 325 hp and 400 Nm of torques. Complete with a 6-speed manny tranny, the Insignia will get to 100 km/h in 6 seconds and connect all your control systems together in one easy-to-configure system.


    Lowered by 10mm and with AWD, the Insignia is aiming to not be an insignificant member of the sport sedan market.


    We then repeat everything we just said, but did a cut/replace with Vauxhall VXR replacing Opel Insignia OPC. The major difference is interconnectivity via OPC is replaced by another acronym tying this car to the completely badass VXR8.
