I like the Tiburon. Very good looking car lol. IMO anyway. I like the new Insignia VXR, but not the huge tall front intakes. Should be something like this or whatever:

I agree, I love this new Buick, and it will go a long way to rebranding the Buick brand to appeal to younger demographics that would normally look at Lexus/BMW/MB.
Those of you who say that Buick reminds you of what your grandpa used to drive, you'd be right. But there's only one way to change that perception, and that is to build cars like these. |

anyway, Buick is stepping their game up. LaCrosse is a home run. But will they be able to convince people to associate Buick with "cool"?

The Regal is smaller then LaCrosse. Pricing was announced for the regular Regal at $26,995.

Engine is a 2.0 Turbo 4 banger making 250 HP and 295 lb. ft of torque. Though GM says the power figures are not final( since this is a concept).
Not sure on weight. |

as someone noted rear looks like a tib with the exhaust from a TL. seats remind me of a vw/passat. it's a big improvement but not crazy about it. front end doesn't do it for me.

Not a fan. IMO it's ugly and tacky, and it will always be a squashy American grandpa mobile despite that fact that they put Brembos on it

It is AWD.
Why because you refuse to give good cars a look at because of the image of the brand? If you go look up the reviews of the Opel Insignia OPC, you will see this is not a squashy grandpa mobile. Though the Insignia OPC has a 2.8T V6 making 325 HP, but it is still the same car as the Regal GS. |

I particularly like the elongated ducts. They look like fangs to me.
