Buick Regal GS....

cute. im sure it will sell well among the 55+ age group

 

255 HP
6spd!
granny's about to show these young whippersnappers a thing or two

 

yet another rebadged Opel, seems to be the only thing worth buying in the GM stable these days.

 

looks pretty badass to me. Gives a lot of options for future models like a coupe or even a Grand National

 

i'd drive it...

 

a turbo six stock 325hp in that car would be a VERY interesting tuner platform..

ah well...

The Regal GS is based directly on the high-performance OPC version of the Opel Insignia, but instead of using the foreigner's 325-horsepower turbocharged V6, Buick is sticking with its four-cylinder-only strategy for the Regal. The GS is powered by a higher output version of the 2.0-liter direct-injected EcoTec four-cylinder that we've come to know and love in numerous GM products over the few years, with the tell-tale dual portholes on either side of its hood indicating its intentions. In this application, powertrain engineers have re-tuned the engine from its original 260 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque to 255 hp and 295 pound-feet.

 

The GSX version will be getting the 6 from what I read somewhere else. The ECOtech is the best 4 cylinder platform out there, I would probably just buy it.

 

2 door version like the Grand nationals would be cool.

 

2013 is the tentative date for a 2-door based on the Opel Insignia concept car
