[brentman2007]

I used to have a regal back in highschool and They have always been damn fine autos so of course I have a place in my heart for the new concept but i was really impressed with this one. I know its not really a performance car but damn it looks good :rockon::rockon:

Looks great. Prolly rides great. If there was a V or GTP equilivent, it would be tits...

Front end reminds me a little of the mazda 3 with the smiley face look and fog light/duct location..

actually I should have wrote... this is the GS and it is a turbo so i bet it pushes the 300 mark... I mean what does it need brembos for if it doesnt have power




edit: boo i just read its a turbo 4banger with 255hp and 295

Very good looking. Great DD material right there.

Wait I thought buick shut down? Maybe I am thinking of another GM company IDK. Nice looking car though what is the price tag gonna be though? It should move out pretty good with a turbo v8 plus you could probably easily up the boost! Also I am in LOVE with those seats!

****ing badass, that has to be the best looking Buick in twenty years. Awesome, now if they would put the same engine in it as in the Opel Insignia OPC 320hp V6 turbo then they'll have me buying it.

It's got a Ecotec 2.0L 4cyl DI TT pushing 255hp & 295 lbft with AWD, Brembos, and an available manual trans.

Try to imagine this car without the Buick badge at it looks pretty damn nice.

 

[STR8JAKT]

Looks like what the new Acura TL should look like. I'd rock it. :rockon:

 

[Torch10th]

Yup, it's official

Its hard to make out but from the pictures it looks like it says either V6 or V8 Turbo on the engine cover?

That car looks really nice, and looks more like a production model already than a concept.

Is it still front wheel drive or do they have an all wheel drive option? Whats the weight on this thing. The cts is a nice 300hp vehicle too but it weights too much.....

"Turns out the Regal GS Concept is down with OPC. Yeah, that's right, Opel Insignia OPC. It borrows heavily from this European car. To start, the Regal GS is all-wheel-drive with an electronic limited-slip rear differential (i.e., the Haldex system used on AWD Saab 9-3s)."

"Oddly, the one thing that's not finalized on the production-ready Regal GS Concept is the engine. The show car has a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder already slated for the 2011 Regal CXL. In the GS, the engine is said to produce 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's hooked up to a six-speed manual."

"But Buick might not use this engine in the production car. Rumors abound that Buick might replace the turbo four with a V6 -- either the 280-hp, direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 from the LaCrosse or the 321-hp, turbocharged, 2.8-liter V6 used in the Insignia OPC. -- Reporting by Dan Pund"

It's AWD and about the size of a Malibu/Fusion, so ~3600-3800#. It should be quite nimble.

The days of 3500# sedans is long gone.

That is badass! The outside looks perfect and the inside does too, look at those seats! I'd take that over an SHO any day.

The Taurus is butt compared to that.
