.. and there's already such a thing as a Pontiac GTO in the US. Once again, your reference makes no since. Please, when you get the chance, bring the history of Ford and the Merkur back up.

.. but the GN is an exact duplicate of the GTO minus the engine. Please, explain where exactly you are coming from.

 

The owner did that. They were never actually badged as Fords. Are they Fords? Yes. Are '87 Grand Nationals Pontiacs?

It's not even a matter of what line it rolled off of, or even REALLY where it was produced. It's a matter of it being a Pontiac badged as a Buick. It's a Pontiac GTO and they're trying to sell it with the legend of the GN behind it. It's not a GN. It never will be a GN.

 

If it was a hardtop, not to damned small (big guys don't belong in little cars), faster and looked good, why not?

Although, I doubt Ford will do that.

What would be more accurate for your argument is if Nissan produced a Z33 platorm vehicle and gave it another name, badged under another company that is owns, like Infiniti. They release it in the US and call it, say, a G35.

 

.. but Nissan and Infiniti are (and have always been) the same company, and they don't have a history with.. well.. any of the cars they make... since they were all shit up until the past few years.

 

I must ask, what makes Buick and Pontiac seperate companies now?

They share platforms, parts, manufacturing lines, shareholders and executives.

I would disagree with Nissans not having any sort of history. The Z platform has been around for some time now.

 

Shut the hell up and go spontaneously combust somewhere, Brock.

 

The time has come to accept the fact that very few automakers have no orginality anymore. Fuck it, it's a Buick GNX. I could care less if it looked like a Camaro. I would rock one for the simple fact that the legend lives on.....cmon now....a V6TT from GM? Fuck yeah, I would definitely buy it.

 

yeah... the gto has a whopping 6 years on the z. no history at all.

 

australian built GTOs are the KoUleSt!!111!eleven1

I'm gonna hop on their dick like blackout here... Giddie up!1

Ferrari was the first to use the GTO name?! no shit! Gee, thanks Jay.

To bad we're not even talking about Ferrari GTOs

 

I understand completely what spic is saying. It shouldnt be a pontiac, it should be a Buick. Even if it is the same platform as the GTO, it should be badged as a buick. Pontiac never had or should have anything to do with the GN or the GNX. It was a complete buick build from the ground up, there never was any cross breeding of the GNX with anything else, the only thing IIRC that it shares a platform with is the Monte Carlo.
