    Well well well

    A midsized sedan
    in the Buick brand
    with a manual trans

    GM's final plan
    I don't understand
    But they've got a good hand

    So do what you can
    don't be also-ran
    stand up to the man

    And I'll get keys in hand
    Drive across the sands
    Bob as my wingman

    Word.

    I'll believe it when I see it. And yet, I am strangely aroused at the idea.

    That's the good news. The bad news is that the shifter is on the column.

    This is what happens when you let people hang out too much with rappers. They get weird ideas after doing all those drugs.

    Interesting.

    I doubt the take rate will be very high, but even with manual transmission, Buick is still missing something; some intangible quality. If I buy a new Buick, I want it to be something truly special. I don't want people to do a double take and say, "Wow, that's a Buick!?"

    No, I want them to do that long, slow, head-sweeping stare as I pass by. I want them to stop what they are doing stare, and drool slightly as they are distracted by the sheer, majestic presence of my Buick.

    I want a real, honest-to-God Roadmaster in every sense of the term.

    This thing has all of the competence, but none of the presence.

    Hmmm. Wikipedia says there was a 3-speed manual available in 1980. Could that be right? I would have thought this would be the first manual Regal.
