Offer Of Free Buick To "Date Our Son" Is Marketing Campaign For New Movie

If you're into cars and occasionally find yourself on Facebook or Reddit, you may have encountered something strange recently. A curious post appeared in both places on March 6, asking people to "Date" our son, and you can probably guess why date is in quotes. For our purposes, this bonkers request came with the promise of a free low-mile Buick Regal in exchange for said services.

The average person might find it a tad amusing, but if you're a right and proper car nerd like us at Motor1.com, you may have thought hey, is that a supercharged Buick Regal GS? The interior looks like leather, and if it's really rust-free with only 40,000 miles, that's a keeper-sleeper from the end of the Radwood era. It had 240 horsepower in stock trim, but a pulley and a tune could turn these sedans into performance monsters. Suddenly, a few dates to bring a young man out of his shell seems like a pretty good trade. Right?
