King of Buicks? New Buick Regal @ 2009 L.A. Auto Show

[greatnack]

ooops) sent it twice

[greatnack]

looks like korean bullshit

[Jay500500500]

The GSX was the sexiest, followed by the GNX, then the Roadmaster.

[305pride]

this car is going to be amazing in the gs trimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[AWDfreak]

A proper MANUAL TRANSMISSION with 3 PEDALS?!?!?! That's awesome!!!

Also, a turbocharged 4-cylinder and AWD will make this unbelievable!

[MusicKrazy2011]

@AWDfreak and on a BUICK? i want one already, lolm they havent had manuals scince the early 1900's

[fp3shb]

He's wrong. They're coming out with a GS Regal with over 300 in HP.

[mtech20]

FutureBLESS, you might be right. I recall seeing the rather stylish Insignia, and word had it was going to become a flagship Saturn....until the axe fell on Saturn's neck. So, it's nice to see the "insignia" will make it stateside in some capacity. Very surprising it will have a manual! When was the last time that happened? Um, never?!

[MusicKrazy2011]

@mtech20 the G8's gonna be the new impala.

[kazimann]

Manual transmission FTW!

[paintedbird]

I like it but I do wish they would at least give the option for a v6. Am thinking of buying a new car soon, am bouncing between one of these or a LaCrosse.

[futureBLESS]

BOOOO BOOOOO BOOOOO FUCK THIS SHIT

[PoorBoy1979]

@futureBLESS Stop this! Stop this! OMFG stop this! If Buick is going to produce this I rather drop Buick and keep Pontiac. It is said this is a rebadged Opel Insignia. Why Why Why....?

[futureBLESS]

I think they are getting rid of the Saturns (which are rebadged Opels) so maybe the Opels will become the new Buicks

[PoorBoy1979]

I heard they were getting rid of Pontiacs by the beginning of next year, I don't know why. Pontiac has nice cars. I don't care much about Buick much since the day they took the GN out, my uncle has one. Not many people purchase them.Buicks. I see alot of people purchase Pontiac especially the G6.

[futureBLESS]

Buick's primary demographic is old folks, once they pass away nobody will buy Buicks anymore because the younger old folks are buying Avalons and Malibus. They should go ahead a get rid of that brand now and focus on Cadillac, Chevy, and Pontiac. And I only say Pontiac because of the Opel GT and the Holden Manaro.

[PoorBoy1979]

They should. They should get rid of Buick just for GMC safety and staying in the market. I see alot of the Pontiac G8 on the road now. The G8 is a sexy beast.

[futureBLESS]

Hell yeah it is. But theres been talk that if Pontiac is scraped, then the G8 will become the new Caprice (or Lumina don't remember.)

[shaikhdishgan1]

boooooo,booooooo,boooooo.

[riley2046]

bring back the Grand National GNX!!!!

[BGKO1992]

we dont want regal we want a v8ROADMASTERS !!! ( not an australian v8 !!!)

[KainKindy]

all gm interiors look alike.

[ahhsimon]

the fuck this shit is ugly no difference than an altima

[Naste2vBrandon]

Damn it Buick just build another Grand National and be done with it.

[HeadTater]

drop a turbo 6 in this car and there you go!

[dragonstorm83]

i wish they would bring the wagon over too. it would compete sell with wagons here. i know i'd buy it.

[bmarsh791]

honestly im not a big fan of buicks but there cars have came a long way since the 80s, when all the bodystyles were what people call a "grandpa car". looks pretty decent

[nitrousxxxcam]

im a general motors fan, but i gotta say this is hideous....

[K16turbo]

LOL... The same Opel/Vauxhall Insignia rebadged by Buick.. 2.0 litre NOT supercharged.. it's a turbocharged engine and will be avalible also awd version with manual gearbox and 220bhp

[jdc4]

the new buicks and cadillacs are awesome cars

[dnur567]

seems like an acura tsx competitor, good powertrains as well

[texan176]

After 1987 the Regal became a boring car. The old RWD Regals ranged from the base 231 V6 slow car to the fast GNX.

They should have made this thing RWD to try and get at least some sales stolen from the Germans if they undercut them on price by 10 grand.

Oh...and no 4 cyl....base cars with a V6 and top of the line with a V8.

[jennbootz349]

I'm bored and horny tonight, the one thing I want I can't get :(

[Karomar123]

Everyone just needs to realize that buicks are actually really good cars, and have been for a long time, they just spent a number of years boring us to death.

[Karomar123]

I love whoever you are for bringing up the Grand National... Everything a car should be!

[sdlausen]

WOW, a Buick I actually WANT? I'm 27 and I never thought this would happen. O_o

[sebast007]

The new Lacrosse is pretty hot too.

[ethosflux]

2.0L turbo on that car? I wonder what kinda vehicle weight we're talking about here.

[OneOfaKind949]

RWD or FWD???  Anyone know?

[Xyrophobia]

do you seriously think a 4 cylinder family car will be RWD? Lets be logical here.

[dnur567]

FWD

[AWDfreak]

FWD base, and possibly AWD for the GS

[lejink]

ill bet it drives like shit, and falls appart before 70,000miles

[dukee155]

thats only if u are brain dead and go to the dealership to get your parts the dealerships suck balls

[IceWaterInc]

doesn't look that bad

[XenoRacing]

Buick Regal GNX the last Buick performance car. D=

I say they needa bring that back, damn

[dukee155]

who knows with pontiac gone maybe they can do some stuff with the pontiac solcetice like giving it a new engine changing the body style a tiny bit and re doing the interior or just take a new car all together

[Ji99i3]

i wish buick designed this themselves.....

[nwonknu8]

buck unlike other companies finally is choosing to actual change its styling! wow if only other did the same!

[dukee155]

who are the other

[4POINT3TropicalStorm]

They should make a RWD turbo 6cyl Coupe grand national with that platform.

[bad41132]

Thats the past buddy look at the bottom line now Ford is BACK and out of the red. People are rejecting all of these bailout of car companies, also Chrysler and Gm make cars that people don,t want to buy. look at both of them. there in the toilet. Oh buy the way all those taxpayer billions we spent on these car companies is gone and their STILL loosing money.

[richardmoeller]

wow the insignia is a nice car.

[bad41132]

WOW another GM people wont buy! Say no to bailouts BUY FORD!

[ocf1fan1]

You seem to forget that Ford has had massive financial problems in the past several years too. Especially since they sold off most of their divisions that were part of their "Premier Automotive Group".

[jgto17]

they need to remake the gnx

[drdrewno]

looks like insignia :(

[anotherone10]

In europe, there is a VXR version with a 2.8-litre turbocharged V6, AWD and 321bhp ☺

[paulb4uk]

Fun to drive you what there nothing more than a re badged daewoo. cheap and nasty..Avoid at all cost .

[laprossima007]

belissima !

[dreyka1]

opel insignia!

[osamaFXX]

Thats right... they kidden us?

[cyerbyandmarge]

would be nice to see A turbo v6 model

[codyschuyler]

buick just needs to stick its head under the ground

[JPacheco91]

But.... it is a opel...ahaha XD BUICK BRING BACK THE GRAND NACIONAL!

[PrescriptionSeven]

i like the design, i wouldnt buy it, but i think it looks decent.

[adogg619]

A Buick with a manual is very strange. But perhaps that little option just might bring in some more customers. Can't really say it's a bad idea.

[chrisw40]

the turd i just took looked better than that piece of shit

[Cold11Fire]

boring boring boring !!!

nothing special on LA Show..

[r1a9y]

theres nothing unique about this car

[jv2k]

There is nothing unique about most cars.

[jonhestananet]

enjoy your renamed opel/vahxaul

[BlackTransAmdude]

I think we have a real winner here. After sitting in the LA crosse on Saturday i was pretty impressed so were other people.

[davidhalifax]

GM would save so much money if they could get their acts together and just have ONE brand for their 'luxury' class, instead of having all these Buick, Cadillac and SAAB.

[SepticProductions]

ur right, they should combine them all into one super luxury brand of the GODS!...it will be called CADDIBAACK!!!

[semajb25]

im not sure seems like alot of hype.

[johnstall5350]

i would say the la crosse is the king not this...although the regal is pretty nice

[veilsideFD3S]

king of buicks!? cough cough** GNX! cough cough**

[cky4bamrocks]

@veilsideFD3S thts damm straight

[bbatliner311]

THATS the king of buicks.

[bbatliner311]

bring back the turbo 3800..

[YAGO323]

the interior looks so nice but the exterior looks so plain and boring. to bad.

[scm11904]

im confused, isnt the lacrosse the flagship sedan, this looks a lot nicer

[gib88son]

no no the lacrosse is not the flagship sedan

[scm11904]

what is the flagship sedan for buick?

[gib88son]

the lucerne

[StuinthaHouse]

the Lucern is the flagship

[mhd86]

this looks good on papers and in videos.. but once you step in this car you know its a GM

[rudolphna54]

Typical GM bashers. Have you actualy sat in this car? Or a new malibue? Terrain? Traverse? Sierra? Silverado? Tahoe? Acadia? Equinox? These all have great interiors. You GM bashers bash no matter what, always. It gets tiring.

[telj1]

Well said!

[mhd86]

i work at AVIS and i'v tried new malibu, terrain,traverse,sierra, tahoe, g8, acadia, impala, cobelt, suburban, and the montana.. they were all the same crap except the new g8 which was unique from all the others. i actually liked that i kept it as a shuttle car for a while. im not trying to tire you off but thats the reality man

[DCuerpoJr]

Hmmm...still...when I think of Buick I think of a car my grand parents would drive.

[aziankid12345]

now what will grandpa drive?

[aieljose]

@aziankid12345 lol he has to walk.

[minibus1351]

vauxhall.

[caseih100]

cool

[cerebraldamage]

nicest Buick that I've ever seen,

[oddfigure]

wow. didn't expect to like the car. Looks nice...

[geedunk13]

very nice

[jenneramby]

Your videos are awesome!

[InsideLineVideo]

Good comments, everyone. Thanks. We also have a LA Auto Show Highlights video if you want to see more vehicles from the show.

[geedunk13]

seen them all :D

[mrjost55]

too much chrome for my taste, but cool car nonetheless

[Artist1974CH]

American Carmakers, when are you going to go back designing and producing your OWN cars? You think you are competing but deep down you're not.

[bsg1206]

looks really good actually

[coolerdude44]

now that gm brought the insignia over, hopefully ford will bring the mondeo over!

would have liked it better if they made the insignia replace the terribly chintzy chevy malibu instead, though.

[jattpunjabi93]

i wouldnt mind buying one, looks nice!!!

[tatar1942]

is doch ein opel insignia

[weed46]

This isn't any buick, This is a Eurpean OPEL INSIGNIA, that is rolling for an year in europe. Search for opel insignia in google

[morgangamer22]

nice

[sirberner12]

good for you.
