See the Most Iconic Models from Buick and GMC

Buick and GMC have spent a lot of time pushing the boundaries of the automotive industry, and the results are pretty clear. Over the years, the automakers have created vehicles that not only performed well, but that also changed the industry at large. These iconic models became ingrained in the history of the car community when they were first introduced and continue to spark interest years later. The team here at Darrell Waltrip Buick GMC has put together some of our favorite Buick and GMC vehicles throughout the years to celebrate how far the brand has come.

Buick GNX

While Buick has recently become synonymous with luxury and refinement, the brand has also dabbled in performance. Just take a look at the Buick Grand National GNX. This car was built to pay homage to the Grand National, and in its final year of production, five hundred and forty-seven 1987 Grand National GNX models were built. This sedan claimed to be the fasted production sedan built at the time, with 276 horsepower. With a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.6 seconds, this is one of the fastest cars ever made by the automaker.  

GMC Sierra

Introduced in 1960 as the brand’s first personal-use pickup truck, the Sierra marked a time when GMC was moving towards making great vehicles for the general public. Before the Sierra, GMC mainly focused on producing vehicles for commercial and military use. The Sierra has evolved based on the idea that trucks aren’t just for getting jobs done, but also for enjoying the journey. With the new Sierra, GMC reinforces that pickup trucks can have luxurious features, remarkable power, and rugged capability. This pickup truck sheds the stereotype and embraces a future where capability and comfort aren’t mutually exclusive. 

Buick Regal GS

The GNX was a thorough-bred muscle car that proved Buick's ability to create a performance-oriented car. The automaker's image has evolved, but it hasn’t forgotten its performance roots. The 2019 Buick Regal GS still carries the spirit of old American muscle, with a newfound style and luxury. At first glance, the Regal GS might look like your average luxury sedan, but if you take a closer look, you’ll see the racing-inspired seats and Brembo® front brakes that set this sport sedan apart from the rest. Equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine, the Regal GS produces up to 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque. 

Today, Buick and GMC are two of the largest car manufacturers in the world and continue to create vehicles that push the industry to the next level.
