With a chassis engineered for European roads and a Buick badge, the Regal could add some zing to Buick's image and compete with luxury sport sedans like the Acura TSX and Volvo S60. The Regal is about 5.8 inches shorter than the Buick
Other than its grille and lights, the Regal's exterior is a dead ringer for GM's German Opel Insignia sedan, 2009 winner of Europe's Car of the Year award. The Regal features a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 2.4-liter that offers a thrifty 30 m.p.g. on the highway and a 220-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter for enthusiasts. Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are available, as is an adaptive suspension that improves handling in sporty driving.
Interior features include standard leather seating and Bluetooth hands-free phone capability.
Buick will also show a Regal GS concept car that features all-wheel drive, a 255-horsepower version of the 2.0-liter turbo engine, a performance suspension and Brembo brakes. Buick will probably build the GS model.
