2016 Buick Grand National Review Release Date Specs

Buick is making a magnificent comeback to the car scene with some amazing brand new models. After more than 30 years, Buick is going to launch 2016 Buick Grand National, one of their popular models, back in the ‘80s. It is safe to say that this is a brand new car, but with the history of the previous model. The interesting thing is that the Buick has decided to use the Alpha platform, which is also used for another popular model of another American manufacturer – the popular ATS from Cadillac. Since these two cars are going to share the platform, we can expect them to be one of the rivals, when both go on sale.

The first thing that you will notice on the new Buick Grand National 2016 is the large chrome grille on the front. The grille is really big, and it takes most of the space in the front and because of that, this car has fairly small headlights. The monotone chrome Buick logo that is located in the center of the front grille looks simple and great. There is another interesting detail on the front – the hood scoop, which is a feature that is usually reserved only for performance and tuning versions of regular cars.
