    The GS is the only GM midsize left with a V6. There aren't many sedans left outside of the luxury classes with a 6 cylinder. Regal GS, 300, Charger, Impala, Avalon, Maxima, Legacy, Taurus, Fusion Sport.

    As does Toyota, and Ford, and Chrysler. They're all good engines.

    It doesn't have a 2-speed transfer case, no. I certainly don't see any of the engines having enough low-end torque to do that unless he was flooring it at the time AND it was a 3.5 Ecoboost. Furthermore, I don't think 4x4 models have "2wd mode". Only a few SUVs have that and I don't think Explorer is one of them. Explorer is AWD all the time. Even still, if there was a 2wd mode, it would be the front wheels that had power at the time.

    I didn't think we'd see over 7 liters in a production engine again ever.

    + Denali

    There is still room for a naturally aspirated 3.6... maybe not as a GS, but still.

    Both of you take it to private chat

    They can do both.

    Back to the GS, one thing where I was really disappointed in was the interior. There is nothing bad about it... it's just ..... dull. 300, Charger, ATS, CTS, CT6.... yep

    Higher than CC was I assume. It is a beautiful car in person. I saw a couple in the wild when I was in France over the summer.

    Three for our green friend @ocnblu It's easy being green

    Only VW could compete with (and beat, they have a coupe with the Beetle) that diversity

    probably added too much weight in a way that threw the balance off on the car.

    That generation was built first in Germany and then moved to Canada after the first year. The current generation is built in Germany. Most of Buick's lineup in imports these days Regal - Germany Cascada - Poland Lacrosse - US Encore - Korea Envision - China Enclave - US

    ...lots of people getting taps on the shoulder today... I worry that the cuts are too deep and too quick. I can't decide if the entire design studio should get the ax or not. Keep the guy/lady who did the CT6, make them the boss, and chuck the rest of them.

    just a note that 2016 and up come with Carplay/Android Auto standard. That's a criteria of mine.

    Stinger, K900, G70, G80, G90

    Used 2016-2017 GSes can be had for stupid cheap prices. I see them regularly in the low $20k range. 8000 miles - $25,995

    The GS, even the prior gen GS, is surprisingly capable for such tasks. While it is less true with the current generation, the prior one was one of the best balance, best handling FWD cars out there.

    The Fusion Sport's suspension gets overwhelmed if driven hard. They're a great high power family sedan, and fantastic for long distance driving... they are not road carvers.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    We really need to settle on a charger port standard soon. CCS seems to be the most viable.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    It handles better than the Fusion Sport.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    The SSEi was many of those things, but better handling was not one of them. Also, the highway mileage of the Lacross with this same setup is actually very impressive on a long highway with a conservative foot. I would assume the lighter Regal would do better.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Should be fixed for everyone now.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, we're on the software default theme until I can get an answer as to what happened to the other theme we have here.
