2011 Buick Regal

Regal is back!
For 2011, they will be built in Germany, and shipped here.
Powerplants will be the brand new 2.4 SIDI (direct injected) making 182hp
Turbo 2.0 SIDI engine making 220hp will be the optional engine for now.
Both will have 6spd autos.
It will eventually be built along side the Camaro at the Oshawa plant in Canada. Dealers were told of a "performance" version coming out a year later, probably equiped with a 280-300hp V6 engine and AWD, mimmicing the Insigna OPC/VXR in Europe. Its questioned that it will either be teh 3.6 SIDI from the Camaro, or the turbo 2.8 from the Insigna.
Manual trans will probably be offerd as well for performance model.

It's not bad, for some reason that 1st pic, the angle it's taken on makes the 1/4 panel and ass end scream G6.

Then again I did just wake up. The interior looks sharp though.

Very BMW-esque wheels. I like the direction they're heading in.

I wanna see more shots of the exterior in different colors and angles before I pass judgement - the interior is pimp though, and I think the center console looks neat.
