    I think that model looks so much better than the rail thin women in all ads these days. That girl has some curves. But then again, the GNX has the best curves and looks better. I'd love to take a spin in one.

    A guy local to me has one. I never see him open it up, but he drives it out of his garage for 2 seconds, then pulls it right back in. LOL

    The joke is the GN was as anti-80s as a car could get. No gayass stripe/decal package, no 2-tone paint, no false claims. Just a black car that delivered what it intended to do & much more. That is why its collectable now.

    Buick is making a 2013 grand national right now. (Same body style). They will compete with the Mustang Gt500 and Camaro ZL1. It only comes in black and twin turbo V6, 645 hp.

    Drive one and you wont care what it looks like! They might not be the best handling cars but when the boost starts to build up they will make you smile all day long!

    Love the idea, and the art style of these old ads. Just wish the girl was dressed appropriately for this kind of car ad, like the Firebird girl at 1:20.

    I'm the last person to pull the race card but.... I find it beyond interesting that with a huge hand full of American Iconic delights, they pull out someone completely outside of the era and the culture to go right back to it. ie. this car, and the entire Dodge re-line up of classics, even the mustang. Again... Why does it take someone from completely "outside" to circle right back and reimagine the obvious? If you don't believe me, Check who designed the "new" Mustang body. SMH

  • @bigkevfromno

    @taylorlael Yep. Horsepower was seriously underrated. I heard many say the claimed 275 hp was actually closer to 310 or more.

    nice clip and a great project, i am an absolute sucker for the 1980s and most anything that has to do with it, so the legendary Grand National fits right in !
    i'm also anxiously awaiting the upcoming "Black Air" documentary about this Icon !

    Loved the 1980's era, specially the music and the movies and the fashion, one thing I didn't care for was the design of the 1980's cars...specially this thing....It's ugly, and I am sure those who used to owned them, they're looking at it now and saying...Gee man I can't believe I used to owned that thing...

  • @revolutionday1
    @revolutionday1 12 років тому

    The whole "80's nostalgia trip" art treatment is absolutely fucking jackass, and they blew a prime opportunity to bring what this car was into THE CURRENT WORLD. Asian guy- there were "80's look brochures" and treatments for this car...well...IN THE FUCKING 80'S!! Now my kid will just look at this and say "wow, this sure looks lame". Thanx.
