I vote for the "X"!
Actually, I voted for the GNX, but not for the reason most people would. I voted for it because it really stood out among the cars of the day. The GSX, while quicker than the GNX, was "lost" among the Judges, Hemicudas, etc. The GNX stood alone. Unfortunately, Buick once more lost their way and somewhat abandoned the performance car market.
They don't even make a two door GS! They tease us with the Blackhawk and then deliver a minivan. Sorry for rambling, but after being the Director of the local GSCA chapter for 12 years, I get quite passionate.
