I would buy it and put a G8 grill on it STAT. They should have brought it back as a buick GSX or something. ---

Yeah that grill has got to go. Other than that, it’s great to see a good addition to the lineup. ---

Get ready for outrageous dealer markup as these will be very low production units. ---

The Commodore is undergoing a complete redesign over the next few years. Don’t expect to see this thing too soon… Give it at least two more years, at least. ---

looks ugly. slap a less dumbass looking front bumper on it and it’ll be a little better. GM needs to bring back some of their real legendary nameplates. Chevelle, Nova and a REAL Monte Carlo (not that FWD shit) ---
