PHR Attempts to Save Buick, Invents New GNX

Popular Hot Rodding's Johnny Hunkins grabs the paddles and shouts "Clear!" in an attempt to revive Buick's flagging fortunes. Noting that Buick lacks a halo car, Hunkins goes on to misspell "LaCrosse" and "Infiniti" on his way to the pronouncement that what the dentists' division really needs is a modern-day GNX. Legendary in automotive-enthusiast circles, the highly-collectible, 275-horse '87 Regal was one of the hottest cars in a decade not known for especially hot cars. While we agree that Buick needs something we're not sure that a reborn GNX is it. Still, we agree that Buick could really use a Zeta-based car, if indeed the on-again, off-again platform lives.
