Thumbs up Buick GrandNational returns..........

Saw this on Youtube, YouTube - Buick GrandNational Returns. It doesn't change until around 1 minute in.
What do you think? It certainely looks better then the other New GN posted awhile back. I think it's a good first draft, but needs a bit more refining, especially the front end.
I really like the upsized GN rims, just hope they aren't made of steel like the stockers.
Now with the death of the 3.8 engine, what could they put under the hood?
I think to keep the heritage, it should be another 6 with a turbo or 2. Oh yeah, and no traction control without an off switch.
I know it isn't real, just someones attempt at would it could look like if GM ever got its NADS back with regard to the GN.
Sorry if it's a repost, I never saw it before.
