New Forums To Be Added To The Buick Forums

Alright Folks, this is your chance to make your voice heard in our little democracy here. Suggest new forums, and any other way to make the existing ones better, and I'll tell out administrator, Igor, about our requests all at one time.

Heres my list so far:

-Terraza
-LaCrosse
-Grand National/GNX
-Electra
-GS/GSX

Feel free to post with more ideas!

[Edited by tman2093 to add new forums to the list.]

Re: New Forums To Be Added To The Buick Forums

My reasoning behind the GN/GNX forum is that there are so many GN threads, that they might benefit from their own forum. I believe there are only 1 or 2 GS/GSX threads here, not really useful to have a forum for 2 threads IMO. Prove me wrong if you think theirs more, I cant be bothered to check at the moment.

-Grand National/GNX
As the origional owner of an 86 GN I was over joyed to find AF.com and the Regal forum. We do have special needs and it would be nice to not have to bounce around through the threads for GN info.

I vote for a GN/GNX forum.

Are there just not enough Reatta owners? I love those cars and was looking around tonight to find more out about them.
