I dont know about this one. Its a tight ass car but shouldnt be a throwback to the great GN/GNX. Given its a concept car, but they need to do some rethinking and go back to th drawing board.

I think it's pretty hot, especially with the LS2 (400 HP v.

It reminds me a bit of the RX8...

That concept car thinger doesnt even RESEMBLE the GN/GNX. The original car has great lines and just looks plain evil.

Is that was Torx has? Or is his just a regal? and what is the difference between the regal/GN? just an engine?

That thing is ugly. Nothing like the original GNX.

I don't mind a reintroduciton of an old model, but at least give the original some respect.

The GNX was the ultimate sleeper, eating up the v-8 cars for breakfast, doing it quietly and still got decent mileage.

I think they should design it with the idea of the GNX in mind, not just building some fancy looking car and slapping the GNX name on it.

I PRAY that the American auto industry will turn around so I can consider them again.

They're making progress every year. I mean, just look at the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the new Chevy Camaro, and just wait for the Pontiac GTO to be redesigned. It's supposed to go back to the muslce car look again. I am really excited for the domestic car industry, where I have never been really excited anytime in my lifetime.

Do you honestly think that they're going to bring back a style from like 20 years ago to a new car? seriously, everything about the GNX was ugly as fuck, including the fact that it looked just like a monte carlo.

You appreciate the old look but people of today want something completley new. I think it looks like a cross of a 350Z and an M series BMW. I like it.

But you can get it with a 400 HP LS2 V8 and RWD. That's plenty more muscle than the original had.

I think a lot of American cars are starting to match their Japanese counterparts in styling, performance, and initial quality. The trouble still remains that they don't RETAIN that quality, and require far more maintenance and repair. And they just feel sloppier as they age, I can't explain it. My Mazda has been rear ended twice, has almost 70,000 miles on it, and yet it's as tight and quiet as the day I drove it off the lot. Ask me about my Mom's Ford Fuckus in comparison. Or my friend's Chrysler mini-vans (2), or my other friend's Buick. Recalls, break downs, early demise!

Saturn appears to have a hit on their hands with the Aura though. The automotive press is raving…

That's ugly. It reminds me of a tricked out Chevy Cobalt. Maybe the 2 pics just aren't that good? As far as bringing back "Old School" rides I'm for it! The Dodge Challenger, the Ford Mustang, and maybe the new Chevy Camaro all have that retro look mixed with new technology.

However, Dodge should have never released the "Charger" with that name! They should have called it a Fury. The Charger was never ..............................ever a 4 door vehicle.
