The one thing I don't like about the Regal that makes it a deal breaker for me:

When you upscale the model, the Sunroof is mandatory. I hate sunroofs.

Actually really pisses me off, cause it was a strong runner as my DD replacement until then.

The highest level you can go in a Regal without a sunroof is RL3, which just adds Convenience/Connectivity Package.

You could always go for a LaCrosse. Or you could wait for the Turbo model. You can go all the way to TO5 without a sunroof.

TO5 Regal = TO1 standard content, Harmon Kardon audio, rear seat-mounted thorax air bags, Bi-Xenon HID headlamps, Interactive Drive Control System, and 19 inch wheels. No sunroof.

And 220 HP/258 lb. ft. of torque.

And let it be noted that I'm under 50 and drooling over a Buick.

Everybody I've heard about that has driven the Turbo has RAVED about it. And the 2.4 SIDI engine is no slouch.

Has anyone actually driven the US-spec Regal GS with the 2.0T yet?

djsnoflake · 07-21-2010, 09:48 PM

And when can I test drive one?

You guys, Uhm. NO.

I know they say there's no accounting for taste, but...

Friends don't let C-5 members drool over Buicks.

Personally it looks like a Volkswagon Beetle humped a Camry and that's what came out. Not trying to be mean, just sayin'.

It does look safe and unobtrusive. Be a great car for a stakeout probably.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So it is ok to not think it's as awesome a car as those posting above. I don't think it is perfect but on the whole including the interior and drveabilty it is a pretty darn nice car.
