Two More GM Cars: Buick Regal GS and Aveo RS
Regal GS will be in production next year when it shifts to Oshawa.
Aveo starts production next year and will look very close to this, sans 19's and body kit.
click picture for more pics/info
Quick Look:
2.0 Turbo making 255hp/295ftlbs of torque
6spd manual opton
Haladex Adanced AWD
Brembo brake
Mega-Seats
Aveo RS is a concept at this moment, but positive press will push it foward. It will be built here in the US as the only B-Class car to be built in America.
click pic for more info/pics
Quick Look:
19 inch wheels and body kit give bold look to segment
1.4T motor will make near 140hp and get over 40mpg
6spd manual option.
Motocycle inspired IP gives sporty feel to interior

I dunno man...that Aveo is lookin like a killer. Possible 45, maybe 50mpg with an XFE model?
Its worlds better then the current Aveo, or anything else out there today.

Option and practicality wise I'm sure it is a killer....but it also kills my eyes looking at it...I'm not digging the look at all. Hey, if it sells and puts a hurting on the competition then awesome...I just don't like the looks of it.

Ah, ok. I think it looks outstanding. There is so much buzz bout the Fiesta for the last 2 years, but when you look at that car compred to the Aveo, the Aveo just looks 10 times more modern and cutting edge. So much more going on with the body work.

Tony, I'm the complete opposite, the Regal looks boring to me. The Aveo is a little over the top but again, it's a concept, it'll be toned down when it's put into production.

The regal is looking real good, and i think the aveo will sell to a lot of people who are looking at a smart car thinking its cool but the aveo seems a lot more practical

Head and tail lights, wheels, front and rear fascia, and side skirts are concept only...for now.
I see both cars as huge players. Regal fits perfect into Buick's relm, offering a sport sedan alternative to the regular day-to-day cars.
Regal GS is a friggggggin awesome car. I kinda wish they brought over teh 2.8Turbo...but this will do.

Possible. Since the 2.8 is in the same family as the 3.6. But I dont see it happening.
V6 option will be available once it comes state side.

Boy, the Buick design is polar opposite of the caddy and even Chevy angular designs. that is good. I kind of like that Buick.
Now the aveo, god the thing now is such a turd. I see the cars on the road today, that Aveo will sell more than today's POS.

aveo is nice, not my cup of tea but gm needs something to take sales from those stupid box cars ie scions and that nissan pos that is uglier than ever.
the gs is hot. would def buy that. id want a v6 though. not a huge fan of 4 cyls.

Is the Regal a new platform or based on another current GM car? It looks similar to the G8, would think a V8 version would be nice

Really digging that Regal!
The Aveo is meh....but I'm thinking that it will probably sell pretty well to the tuner market, so more power to 'em.
