Thumbs down buicks downfall

I think it stinks that Buick in the 70's had the Skylark gs and gsx that ruled the road.
Then in the 80's the "Regal" Grand National that ruled the road.
But now has become granpa's car and NO LONGER rules the road.Allthough overpriced Cadilac even has a muscle car. Buick will soon go the way of Oldsmobile and its a shame but the writing is on the wall. ALL other GM divisions are working on, or currently producing modern day MUSCLE CARS. What happened to Buick?? You are dezigning the demize of "in my opinion" The one of the BEST car manufacturers ever, with style & HP.

people just dont relate Buick and muscle car. just the way it is. with the way the auto industry is and also the gas prices i'm really shocked on what is coming out. what if gas hits 3.50-4.00 per gallon?? maybe technology will be the savior with these modern muscle cars getting 30, 40 or more mpg. time will tell.......

I think the closest muscle car Buick has now is the concept Velite...well wait, it doesn't have a V8 and it only comes as a convertable...n/m comment about "muscle car"

I think I'll address GM on this concept, I'll post results, that's if I get any!
