Buick Grand National

Debuting in 1982 and born from the grocery-getting Grandma-mobile, the Buick Regal, the Grand National caught everyone by surprise with its NASCAR inspired looks, sinister presence, and turbo-charged V6. With a production run only lasting four years (no Grand Nationals were produced for 1983), this burly Buick turned out to be a rare and awesome triumph for performance in the otherwise fairly dismal automotive landscape of the 1980s.
With Buick looking to reposition itself as a sporty brand in the absence of Pontiac in GM's stable, and since they already have a critically acclaimed turbo Regal on the way, this would be the perfect time to bring the Grand National back to life.
