Seemed like a low idle for a cold start.

My new WRX has a loud cold idle for a new car, the last gen did too, I think the new model is even louder.

Yup, I love it. Very nice.

I'm sure in someone's book that might be a good deal, it is very cool and must be a blast to drive. I will just watch and listen.

Too late, it sold for $275k. Other than race it at the vintage races for example at Road America, what good is?

i didn't say i'd buy it, it doesn't even have the lemans style trunk area by the engine then when you run for groceries the eggs will cooked when you get back.
I do love the sound of a lumpy high profile cam on a big V8 with headers.

You can't get it in the US domestic market, It's only available in the UK and Italy.

I believe Buick is being revived especially to cater to the US market. First model is the "3800.V6."
