@lesher27

"Most" old people aren't going to drive a GS version of this new regal unless they're going through a late life crisis LOL. The Lacrosse CXL or maybe even the CXS would be more to their liking if going this route. This Regal GS will be selling to people mainly in their 30's, 40's and some in their 50's for the most part.

That thing is embarrassing, it is no muscle car

Can ya run it on rocket fuel? NO

What happened GM, where's the iron?

Make a real car please !!!

[a1awind]

so the sc 3800 regal was .2 seconds faster @ 0-60 in 6.6 sec! with a long geared tranny and no manual?

i cant even imagine what it would have been like with a stick.

the LT1 roadmaster was 0-60 in 7.0 an that car was 2 tons!

I really think that GM should make a buick based off of the Camaro; use the same chassis, some of the same panels, but all together a different look. Place the same V6 from the Camaro, expect with a turbo, paint it black, and call it the Grand National! Would love to see that!

@xdavstratx I would love to have a Grand National but not for a daily driver. This Regal is a nice, comfortable, and economical driver that you can have some fun with when you want to, not a hot rod. If i was going to get a brand new car based only on performance I would get the 2013 GT500

@GMdrivingMOPARguy its shit dude ure better off getting a old grand national which would stop nthe shit out of this thing stock

[dragnetstudios]

Did you say 15.2 1/4 mile? This car has 270hp, that is slow

@IrishChris1979 I'm 19 about to join the Air Force and I plan to get one after Basic.

@7477238 or a proper 5 speed manual. the 3800 supercharged regals were nice.

[7477238]

@DruidB19 Those old Bucks with the SC 3800 were fast and the engines were torquey. If only they had a 5 speed automatic at the time vs that long geared 4 speed the performance would have been even better. I always liked those older Buicks, comfy and quiet but they had some balls too.
