New 2011 Buick Regal Pictures/Photos Gallery

Burt Reynolds left the building, no other vehicle-W to kick around. Buick hit almost all the dusty past, salon, but the Taurus, such as motion, calling it a subtle new front-wheel drive, mid-size sedan with a badge vintage Regal.
We believe. It's Regal. It is hardly a Buick, if you remember all the people who came for Swank enclave. Hi, I grew up on the big Buick oozing with V-8 power, or at least picked out by a qualified 3800-6 and that is why it is capable, amazing car feels so strange as there was for the brand a time Masters Road Reattas and sold side by side without someone to translate.

What makes it not sequitir? Regal is the only small Buick Buick is a small aluminum four-cylinder engine, and if you want turbo. No V-6 that also in-8. I could get, he was accused of heresy. This would be the right move at the right time, and most of the action of automakers in the world, huge chunks of iron with a low return. It would be a big turn off.

The engines themselves are not separating the salon of the past. Regal is in fact our version of the European Opel Astra sedan and sport was dead as a Saturn. It has since been fitted with a Buick waterfall grille and taillights, and it's a visual knockout, Infiniti G37 replaced by a Nike-like swoosh and dynamic style of the interior.

Handling and road feel, Regal, comes from a different world, too. Automatic can be moved with paddles. Manual transmission is ongoing, expected to get together with the school. This is an iconoclast Regal and react like nothing I've ever ridden by Buick.

What's new Regal is, especially bulky or sports. Regal fine handle, but without the border that you want to find the Ford Fusion has a gentleness that Buick is a compromise between the past and its future. Spinning 220 horsepower turbo four, good, but more than 50 hp shy of the upcoming Hyundai Sonata Turbo, which is also faster on the price and space. This pales against the seat back or buckets in almost all near luxury sedan in the same shopping radar: Maxima, S60, TSX, Passat CC. This is a 'tween safe, and if not to say, fewer Medium ensemble plays with Costco.

standard and turbo versions of the Regal Let's twist that a base price around $ 27,000 bears. Buick says the cheaper version does, and also confirmed the 260-plus horsepower Regal GS with all-wheel drive and manual transmission. We think it is interesting and very attractive from outside, but it is also smaller and more expensive than expected.

This is usually the case for imported domestic Regal and it's a tough sell, even a small group of believers who hang out with hipsters every time.
