Car should have had a V6 turbo, 6 sp manual and auto avail. No reason why AWD and RWD couldn't have been an option. if it were packaged in a 3500lb envelope, shoulda been able to touch 30mpg hwy even with a V6 turbo (ala BMW 335i). I can't figure why GM keeps throwing jabs and doesn't swing for the fences. Ford did the ecoboost, yet GM does a 4 cyl turbo...oh, well the focus rs is 4 cyl turbo...was that your target buick?? a focus?? why would I buy this over a 335i...why?
The loss of AWD kills any pretense of "performance". I predict that AWD loss will also cost them a lot of the younger crowd, like myself who WAS very interested in this car.
They had me with the Camaro... back in 2006 when Transformer came out, not in 2009 when it finally came out in the middle of a recession and after 3 long years in which the design became stale and less exciting, not to mention the Camaro's terribly ubber-cheap interior.
Again, this "Regal" is really an Opel Insignia, which is a 2008 car, it's already 2 years old, again, it's old news and under-powered like crazy. I mean... a 4-banger heavy Buick? No thanks.
250 horsepower on a turbo 4 cylinder?!?!? thats absurd when Hyundai's turbo 4 cylinder gets 271 horsepower. when will american car makers learn to get the most out of the engines gosh???
@Kevbo771 it's the first time when i've seen this car and i couldnt believe my eyes.the only diference between this car and the Opel Insignia is the badge.I dont know about the interior but the exterior looks like a COPY-PASTE from Opel.
@mercmilan06 The Opel Insignia OPC has a 2.8 liter V6 with 325 HP, 320 foot pounds of torque (435Nm), all wheel drive, a six speed manual transmission and a limited top speed of 155MPH (250km/h). 0-60MPH takes six seconds.

@yummy1234098 The Hyundai makes 269 pound feet of torque while the GM motor makes 295. More important than HP.

@AnonymoussourceL0L Yes! It's so awesome that they are offering it with a true standard tranny.

My only complaint -
They should have given it the V6 from the Opel
This car needs more horsepower -
And it needs to be all wheel drive
