@christich99 Swagger by a dictionary's definition is strutting or walking with a lot of confidence, almost with insolence or arrogance but mostly in slang terms like how I used it means something really cool. haha
@MegaCodfreak99@123cdecde No, it's a Buick. Holden(Australia) and Opel(Germany) are Buicks. Not the other way around. Holden and Opel are subsidiary companies to Buick. Get your facts straight.
@MrReece102 relatives yes. Buick and Vauxhall are owned by GM. But Holden Opel and one other company are owned by Buick. Vauxhall was the british equivalent of our Pontiac until pontiac went out of business.
I bought a Turbo carbon black with 6-speed manual and T07 package (loaded all options, if you didn't know what it meant) About 3 weeks in, have 3800 miles on it. Averaged 34.1 MPG on first trip doing constant 75mph, did return at 80mph and still managed 33.4 MPG. Drove every car that was available with manual tranny that could be had well equipped between $30-35K. Lagacy GT, Volvo C30, VW CC, Audi A4, and some others not many available. This was my favorite. Great car, don't ignore it.
so someone tell me...this isn't an american car? i don't give a fuck if it has american badges and designing i mean the engine/tranny? how can you even call it an american car if it's made elsewhere....i've been very dissapointed with domestic cars ever since the cancellation of the cobalt especially the ss version
@hellsphraust Its actually made in Canada in Oshawa, Ontario. :) its made alongside camaro's and equinox's. The car is based off the Opel Insignia. Opel is owned by an American Brand. General Motors. So in a way it has European Blood, but it is a Canadian/ American car more or less.
@adiosk8r91 Probably because the car is based on an OPEL, and that platform is already built in Germany. Building it there probably means less overall cost for GM.
I know this is kinda old(considering the fact you have uploaded so many vids after this) but i saw a black(no racial) version of a regal and i now know this is my favorite car and im only 13 so i now know wut i want in 2 to 3 years and @furlano7 I 100% agree.
They have definitely taken the very nice route of going Euro-style. This definitely seems like a well completed feat. I mean the H/K sound system thats also widely used in Mercedes as well as the center knob for controls. All in all quite kudos to GM.
Nice car, good to see buick doing something. it would be cool if the aftermarket companies made some upgrades for the turbo or gm would offer a LS motor with a supercharger on one these. I had a 82 regal with a 455 in it ,I loved that car . the o.e. 3.8 v6 made it over 200k b4 i pulled it
usually i feel that cars look their worst in white, but this car and the lacrosse look amazing in all of their colors. the design is so smooth and flawless. i love it. can't wait to test drive.
@furlano7 I agree, I am 18, and have owned a '97 LeSabre and loved it, I also own a '77 Buick LeSabre. Buick is by far my favorite brand of car. I would love to get a '87 GN, or Reatta or a late 90's Riviera. You can't beat a Buick. I would trade my VW Jetta for a Buick in a heartbeat.
@furlano7 Agreed dude. I doubt you Buick haters have ever heard of the Grand National? One of the fastest production cars ever made in the 80s..... by Buick. Also it was a V6 Automatic. It kicked Camaro/Mustang ass constantly completely stock. Look it up.
@xdavstratx Both are nice cars, but i would drive this if i had the choice. This is more practical, has better fuel efficiency, better performing, and more modern styling. Ive driven the New regal and it is fantastic.
@furlano7 i agree with the practical and modern styling but i think the fuel efficiency on a stock gn was 17 city 25 hwy and would smoke the new one i agree with it being more practical cause the grand national is a theft prone car
this is a great fully german car and its a vauxhall insignia. but it has a buick emblem so no. person 1: "so what kinda car are you driving these days?" person 2: "oh its a buick!" person 1: "HAHAHAHAH LOSER!" yep exactly why i wouldnt buy one
@zackdl You should probably stick with a badge rather than a good car. Get a crappy BMW and watch it break all the time. At least you can explain to the tow truck driver why your automatic transmission slammed into park, or your turbos failed.
Anyone who doesn't take one for a test drive and drives it, is an idiot. This is not your Grandpas Buick. We need to change ppl opinions. I am defiantly looking at the GS model.
Just want to congratulate you on all of your recent success. Its great that you are able to preview new vehicles, such as the the Buick Regal. Keep up the good work. Hope that many doors continue to open for you.
if this is the Opel Insignia..then what is the Lucerene a version of then? because the Lucerene looks like an Opel as well....Kyle please let me know in a PM!
This car is sooooo boring! Buicks will always be as interesting as porridge and cardboard boxes. The fact that they put a turbo in it makes it even more gay!
@12daniel06 if u think of it a littlle... vauxhall, opel and holden are all subsidiaries of general motors.. buick is also one... so, i believe its the same model just labeled differently in other places
its a great car ...looks amazing from outside...and a car to compete with German cars from the interior.....but the engine is not a good idea, and the layout too
@jjchargerboy16 - I think these designs are a grave improvement to the offerings of past. However, I don't think I'd ever buy a new Buick, mostly because I live in England, and I'd have to import it. But I could buy a Vauxhall Insignia which is the same as this car - but they just seem rather soulless and certainly cheap and tacky. I have to admit they are cheap though. :P
very nice car and video, I thought you missed a couple things though. No exhaust sound from the rear and you didn't demonstrate this autostick feature while driving.
This car should have been a Pontiac. Its too sporty to be associated with Buick. They are really asking a lot to have Gen X and Gen Y customers into their showrooms. Those 2 generations grew up with their grandparents driving Buicks, which is why we associate old person car with Buick.
GM just copied the Hyundai Sonata's powertrain options but the Hyundai has way more power from the Turbo version. Im kind of disappointed that it only makes 220 hp bc hyundai was able to get 274 from the same displacement and single turbocharger... I read the Turbo version still takes 7.5 secs to hit 60... not any quicker than a base 4 cylinder Acura TSX and the V6 version will rape it. Its too large on the outside and too heavy to be a proper sport sedan. Not to mention its still a BUICK.
I've heard Americans like big engines, so I don't understand why GM didn't use 2.8 V6 Turbo (260hp) from top of the line Opel Insignia? Is it be a GS model?
Funny thing is that we don’t get 2.4L which is base motor in Buick, instead we have 1.6L (115hp), 1.8L (140hp) and 1.6Turbo (180hp), and 3 diesels.
I have always been a fan of Buicks, but the new Regal is the icing on the cake and the third of three absolutely fantastic products (the Enclave, Lacrosse, and Regal)!!!! I really like it in white too. Can you get it with factory installed remote start? I noticed that both Regals that you tested do not have it, and I'd be a little surprised if you can't since most GM products are offered with it now. In respsonse to the review above, it is definitely not a clone of the Cobalt.
I'm loving the Euro Buick Regal! Much nicer than the Cadillac Catera. Thanks for reviewing this car! BTW, you better have something special planned for you 1000th video, Kyle!
i was choosing between buying this or the 2011 sonata. this had the ambient lighting going for it, and the sonata, well, the sonata had larger space, better exterior styling, more standard features, and cost less... the choice was clear. =P
@ktonlai Sorry, but you've made a completely wrong choice. :P
Sonata and Insignia (Regal) arent even in the same class. Sonata is in budget category of the class, Insignia leans more towards premium segment to compete with bmw 3, audi a4 , volvo s60, passat cc etc.
Insignia is a better car in every single way, especially in interior. No cars currently sold in US market except for german trio (A4, 3, C class) and Volvo S60 is better than this. Japanese and Korean cars are below in every term.
@derbigpr500 sorry i'm not made of money and put consideration into value over the germans' image of quality (which are continually ranked amongst the lowest among manufacturers since the late 90's)
also, upon further inspection i realize that i was looking at the lacrosse, i mixed it up with the regal since the interiors are so similar.
@ktonlai German cars have an image of quality for a reason. If someone doesnt recognize that quality, then he doesnt know anything about cars. And as for german cars being ranked among the lowest....where did you get that from? Thats just a ridiculous statement. If you refeering to people who take their cars into service station once every 5 years and put the cheapest fuel inside, and then complain somethings broken (which 90% of americans who drive euro cars do), then....
@ktonlai European cars are the best in the world. And by a VERY large margin. Who doesnt agree, again, doesnt know anything about cars. Thats not being rude, or arrogant, its just a plain fact. And germans make the best cars in europe, which, makes them the best automakers in the world. Again, everyone who knows something about cars will agree. American cars, are sadly, at the last place toghther with Australian, behind Japanese and Korean cars.
@derbigpr500 .... "knows something about cars" you sound like you came straight from the 1980's.. get with the times... the german might make semi innovative cars, and good looking cars, but their car quality consistently rates below average: usatoday .com/money/autos/2008-10-23-cr-reliability-ranking_N . htm
it also sounds like your ranking by country is based out of your personal opinion and not real facts.
@ktonlai id also like to state that while the germans had their time, they are now floating on an empty image of quality and reputation , which is reinforced by their high prices and people think that they pay for what they get... even if it's shit... MB reached its peak with the 300D and their other super reliable diesels but now their time has passed
@ktonlai "while the germans had their time, they are now floating on an empty image of quality and reputation"
Sorry, you remember when i said "somebody who knows something about cars"? You dont fall into that category.
What is the last german car you've driven? Or atleast sat inside. And explain to me why its an empty image of quality. Looking at a new Audi A8 or BMW 5 / 7, I dont understand that. They're almost at Rolls Royce levels of luxury and quality now.
@ktonlai I'd also like to ask you if you know that Opel Insignia is the cheapest car in its class in europe? There are 11 cars in that class that are more expensive (Merc C, Audi A4, Bmw 3, Alfa romeo 159, Renault Laguna 2011, Citroen C5, Peugeot 508, Skoda Superb, VW Passat, Passat CC, Volvo S60). So, the cheapest, and one of the worst (if you check out the others i mentioned) car in small saloon class in europe is better than anything that any US manufacturer can offer. And this is a fact.

A four-cylinder and a snail in an American car? Impossible. Everything here has at least 6 cylinders or a supercharger. Turbos are un-american.

very nice car and video, I thought you missed a couple things though. No exhaust sound from the rear and you didn't demonstrate this autostick feature while driving.

This car should have been a Pontiac. Its too sporty to be associated with Buick. They are really asking a lot to have Gen X and Gen Y customers into their showrooms. Those 2 generations grew up with their grandparents driving Buicks, which is why we associate old person car with Buick.

WOW. that center stack is button heavy... way worst than a TSX.

GM just copied the Hyundai Sonata's powertrain options but the Hyundai has way more power from the Turbo version. Im kind of disappointed that it only makes 220 hp bc hyundai was able to get 274 from the same displacement and single turbocharger... I read the Turbo version still takes 7.5 secs to hit 60... not any quicker than a base 4 cylinder Acura TSX and the V6 version will rape it. Its too large on the outside and too heavy to be a proper sport sedan. Not to mention its still a BUICK.

I've heard Americans like big engines, so I don't understand why GM didn't use 2.8 V6 Turbo (260hp) from top of the line Opel Insignia? Is it be a GS model?
Funny thing is that we don’t get 2.4L which is base motor in Buick, instead we have 1.6L (115hp), 1.8L (140hp) and 1.6Turbo (180hp), and 3 diesels.

The side profile especially the c-pillars remind me of the Jag XF. Nonetheless, a beautifully designed car.

I have always been a fan of Buicks, but the new Regal is the icing on the cake and the third of three absolutely fantastic products (the Enclave, Lacrosse, and Regal)!!!! I really like it in white too. Can you get it with factory installed remote start? I noticed that both Regals that you tested do not have it, and I'd be a little surprised if you can't since most GM products are offered with it now. In respsonse to the review above, it is definitely not a clone of the Cobalt.

and also, this is a very solid car. too bad it's Front Wheel Drive. I think Buick, and every automotive brand should offer some RWD cars.

i was choosing between buying this or the 2011 sonata. this had the ambient lighting going for it, and the sonata, well, the sonata had larger space, better exterior styling, more standard features, and cost less... the choice was clear. =P
ktonlai 1 year ago
@ktonlai Sorry, but you've made a completely wrong choice. :P
Sonata and Insignia (Regal) arent even in the same class. Sonata is in budget category of the class, Insignia leans more towards premium segment to compete with bmw 3, audi a4 , volvo s60, passat cc etc.
Insignia is a better car in every single way, especially in interior. No cars currently sold in US market except for german trio (A4, 3, C class) and Volvo S60 is better than this. Japanese and Korean cars are below in every term.

@derbigpr500 sorry i'm not made of money and put consideration into value over the germans' image of quality (which are continually ranked amongst the lowest among manufacturers since the late 90's)
also, upon further inspection i realize that i was looking at the lacrosse, i mixed it up with the regal since the interiors are so similar.
ktonlai 1 year ago
@ktonlai German cars have an image of quality for a reason. If someone doesnt recognize that quality, then he doesnt know anything about cars. And as for german cars being ranked among the lowest....where did you get that from? Thats just a ridiculous statement. If you refeering to people who take their cars into service station once every 5 years and put the cheapest fuel inside, and then complain somethings broken (which 90% of americans who drive euro cars do), then....
derbigpr500 1 year ago
@ktonlai European cars are the best in the world. And by a VERY large margin. Who doesnt agree, again, doesnt know anything about cars. Thats not being rude, or arrogant, its just a plain fact. And germans make the best cars in europe, which, makes them the best automakers in the world. Again, everyone who knows something about cars will agree. American cars, are sadly, at the last place toghther with Australian, behind Japanese and Korean cars.
derbigpr500 1 year ago
@derbigpr500 .... "knows something about cars" you sound like you came straight from the 1980's.. get with the times... the german might make semi innovative cars, and good looking cars, but their car quality consistently rates below average: usatoday .com/money/autos/2008-10-23-cr-reliability-ranking_N . htm
it also sounds like your ranking by country is based out of your personal opinion and not real facts.
ktonlai 1 year ago
@ktonlai id also like to state that while the germans had their time, they are now floating on an empty image of quality and reputation , which is reinforced by their high prices and people think that they pay for what they get... even if it's shit... MB reached its peak with the 300D and their other super reliable diesels but now their time has passed

@ktonlai "while the germans had their time, they are now floating on an empty image of quality and reputation"
Sorry, you remember when i said "somebody who knows something about cars"? You dont fall into that category.
What is the last german car you've driven? Or atleast sat inside. And explain to me why its an empty image of quality. Looking at a new Audi A8 or BMW 5 / 7, I dont understand that. They're almost at Rolls Royce levels of luxury and quality now.
derbigpr500 1 year ago
@ktonlai I'd also like to ask you if you know that Opel Insignia is the cheapest car in its class in europe? There are 11 cars in that class that are more expensive (Merc C, Audi A4, Bmw 3, Alfa romeo 159, Renault Laguna 2011, Citroen C5, Peugeot 508, Skoda Superb, VW Passat, Passat CC, Volvo S60). So, the cheapest, and one of the worst (if you check out the others i mentioned) car in small saloon class in europe is better than anything that any US manufacturer can offer. And this is a fact.
