Guys,

I have been mentioning this for a little while, but today it is official:

GM Announces Buick Regal for US - GM Inside News Forum

Now let's see if we get the AWD Turbo version they are making in europe.

I just hope GM finally grows some balls and puts the AWD turbo version in play and prices it to compete with the Ford SHO. They have the means, it's just a matter of getting the pencil pushers to realize what the consumers actually want. Ford has it figured out, so hopefully they can just look at what the competition is doing and do the same.

Yeah, the trunk on the sedan looks kinda goofy (like the non-wagon Mazda 3's, too short). I would definitely go with the wagon! I love the wheels too.

If they made a coupe

This is a leak of what a coupe could look like.

Where the GRAND NAT version?

A nice DUAL Turbo beast would be great.. If ford can do it with thier SHOGUN TARUS I suppose the Chinese Buicks could too. :biggrin:

Sedan + Wagon

If the car was available with those options, it would walk all over VW, Mazda, Volvo, ect. The LaCrosse serves GM well as a mid-luxury vehicle, but the Regal needs to take a sportier approach!

I really wish GM would make the car available with these readily available options, but I doubt they will.
