SLP acquires the rights for the 'GNX' nameplate
Source
Photo credit: SLP February 29, 2012 By: CF staff ![[Image: 6941401149_6b67077741_b.jpg]](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6941401149_6b67077741_b.jpg) This is the first rendering of the SLP GNX. This Regal-based sport sedan is looking to be the GS Buick should've built. SLP says that this one should crank out "more than" 300 horsepower (up from 270 on the GS) and, if this rendering is to be believed, will actually look special. Reviews |

All this rendering shows is a GS.

RE: SLP acquires the rights for the 'GNX' nameplate
Hmmmm... this could be problematic. If SLP brings over some of the insane AWD Vauxhalls, strips them of their Euro trim, and redoes them as Buicks (with a bigger turbo of course!) then this could be pretty good. Anything else is a disgrace to the memory of the first GNX... unless they plan on basing it off the Camaro, which would probably be even more costly, and judging by the sketch provided, unlikely.
I'll be the first to admit that there are some things the F-Series does better than the Silverado. And by that I mean "donate it's back axle to the company's sporty car." |

Hmmm. If they do it, I'm sure they'll do right by the original. They better, or the hordes will be at the gates with torches and battering rams in tow.

RE: SLP acquires the rights for the 'GNX' nameplate
A modern GNX should be a Regal Coupe with RWD with a TT I/V6, that would be dope
