The model's name may inspire memories of large American coupes and sedans from decades gone by, but Buick's latest Regal—introduced for 2011—is closely related to GM's Opel Insignia, and more German than anything else. Smooth lines and taut handling deftly separate the Regal from the stodgy old image of its barge-like predecessors.
And let's not forget that Buick once boasted serious performance cars like the Grand National. In that spirit, the Regal GS pitches itself as an entry-level sports sedan for young professionals.
