They are pinning their hopes for a turn around at Buick on an under-powered and over-priced Opel import being rebadged as the Buick Regal. Since the average age of a Buick owner is 68 it is vital for Buick to attract younger customers. If they really want to bring a younger crowd into the showrooms they need to retro-fit the Zeta platform (Camaro) as a Supercharged V-6 with a tricked-out paint scheme like this. Now, that would get the young car buyers into the showroom. If they kept the price of the base model around $20K they wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be able to make enough of them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an excersize in &#8220;kit bashing&#8221; whereby a model of the 1970 Buick GSX was merged into the new zeta (Camaro) platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[76,77,16,79,80,81,78],"class_list":["post-466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-projects","tag-buick-gsx","tag-kit-bashing","tag-modeling","tag-resin-casting","tag-rightonreplicas-com","tag-slammer","tag-zeta-platform"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=466"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":468,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466\/revisions\/468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
