The Upcoming 2012 Cars Buick Regal is expected to take to the highways in the second half of 2011. The automotive press got their first up-close look at the sports sedan on November 4, 2012, on the eve of its official debut at the South Florida International Auto Show. As expected, there was very little change in body style from the 2011 model that won raves for its European-influenced design. The Regal is patterned after the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia and except for the Buick grille, looks very similar.
Cars Buick Regal History
High-performance Buick models were around in the 1960s when GS stood for Gran Sport, but by the time that Buick retired the Regal name in 2004, its retirement was a fulfillment of the image the old car had acquired: a car for retirement age drivers.
All of that changed when a born again Buick Regal concept car was shown at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. When the Regal was reintroduced at Buick dealerships in 2011, most road testers expressed surprise, very pleasant surprise. Typical comments concurred with this quote from Road and Track: “The Regal was balanced, confidence-inspiring and fun to drive.”
