in the 2.0 turbo-diesel version this is a very nice car.
I put about 400 miles on one in Wales and England back in May and it was great. It had a hatch and it is a worthy replacement for a Saab 9000. If we got this version as a 9-5 I'd snap it up.
It was a bit softer than I like, but was similar in ride to my wife's 9-5 wagon. Firmer shocks and some more aggressive tires would make a big difference. The turbo-diesel was excellent--plenty of pulling power and cruised comfortable at extra-legal speeds. It didn't have the poke of a gas engine, but I had no trouble passing, even on narrow roads with limited space to pass. Averaged about 32 mpg in mixed driving that included a lot of full throttle blasts as well as sitting in traffic on the motorway.
Maybe a Buick Grand National version will be a bit like the one I drove.
