The auto show is from the 4th-13th of December this year...more info please.

This is in November before the auto show.

Interesting. Are they having their own expensive journalist junket event?

[Drew Dowdell]

I wish I could make it out there for this.

So much hype for a car I've already seen.

They put out an ad on Web 2.0 venues inviting people to the Regal premiere party in LA on the 12th.

Especially if they had the brains to bring over the coupe, and not that powertrain...

Yep. But it will be a nice car, and GM needs to get the word out.

[A Horse With No Name]

It will be a hot car...do wish it came 6MT.

PONTIAC06, isn't it funny a lot of us want a coupe, but there IS no Insignia coupe, except as a hot concept car. Just like the Coupe60, GM dangles cool stuff and then snatches it away.

Drives me crazy. I wish they would build something they show even if only to appease us enthusiasts. I know that if they produced that coupe as a Buick I wouldn't even think twice about signing on the dotted line...I wouldn't care if it had a 4 speed auto and seats made out of concrete...

They tried that once already:

Sure, and I liked it too, but it was an expensive vehicle with a very limited market...A Buick Regal Coupe could be sold in all markets that sell Buick or Opel/Vauxhall. That's a significantly larger market, plus a midsize coupe appeals to WAY more people than say a two seat convertible pickup...

Also, I'm sure alot of people wouldn't consider a midsize FWD Buick an enthusiasts car, but it is a compromise I would make where-as the sedan is a much harder sell...

Have you seen it in person? 99% of the target market haven't. It's a new model announcement.
