At least it won't be as similar as the previous iteration of the Regal was to the Century!

I guess they'll be in showrooms by summer/fall 2010.

Wasn't it reported that the woman in charge of Buick said it would be available in spring?

can't wait for this amalgam of Nissan and Acura styling themes to hit Buick dealerships everywhere!

I love all the trolls that show up suddenly...Must be a good car.

This car has me strangely entranced, I'm anticipating this car a lot, reminds me of before the camaro came out. Hopefully it makes it to NY auto show in 2010!

Acura eh? I don't see Acura's signature cow catcher/bird beak grille or Nissans odd shaped lights and new squared off grille. Where are the Nissan and Acura styling themes on the Regal? Oh right... there are none. Nice try.

That's awesome!

I made the picture of the Regal from Facebook my wallpaper at work. My boss, a BMW-driving Yale grad, saw it and couldn't believe it was a Buick. He was impressed. This is what needs to happen across the country. Shock the public. I can't wait until the Regal hits the streets.

This regal should really be the SHO competitor. But it won't have the drivetrain.

Here's hoping for a Regal GS or GSX with thrust provided by a production version of the Twin-Turbo 3.6L SIDI VVT V6 in the Leno Camaro

I'm a very young 27 year old with value in mind. Aside from value, I want something thats slightly underdog-ish, with the POTENTIAL to be beastly. Must look good, have a great cost and be pretty reliable.

While I had a nice black GTP, the previous Regal almost fit that bill and I've always loved the name. A lot of people on here have bad feelings towards the name plate, but I'll be honest, most people my age and younger do NOT feel this way for whatever reason. Either they haven't heard of it, or never heard anyone say anything bad about it, or cared enough to form a hateful opinion.

With that said, In a couple of years I'll be ready to turn my '08 Aura XR over...

Must have stick shift again, and must have V-6 power, in a lightweight Chassis.

Oh oh yes wait.. Weight. How much did the Chineese version weigh?

fbg6coupe · 11-07-2009, 03:26 AM

Hopefully this car will have a good power train and torque. One of the things I will miss most about pontiac is how torquey they were. Even the four cylinders.

If this car has good engines, is comfortable, and gets good fuel economy (27mpg for the LaCrosse is NOT good), then this could take over some G6 business...

johnstarnes · 11-07-2009, 06:26 AM

I look forward to seeing the car.

cozbyrt · 11-07-2009, 09:59 AM

Any guesses to pricing?
