    I love how you say beautiful domestic car. This is actually a Vauxhall/Opel Insignia from Europe just with Buick badges on it. I’d probably still buy one nevertheless!

    it’s a shame GM wasn’t making good domestic products in the first place. have to wait until the Euro divisions make something decent and are like “can you ship a few thousand of those to the states, mate?” anyways, i love the Insignia VXR and i’m really looking forward to the Buick Regal GS. hopefully they bring us the wagon as well.
