“The Regal might bring back memories of the 1980s, of mullets and of turbo GNX versions,” says Padgett. Not so anymore! The new Regal is one of the first products of post-bankruptcy GM.
“The Regal was supposed to be the next Saturn Aura,” Padgett explains. “Instead, it's a great redirect for the future of the Buick brand, with European handling and styling, and a new turbocharged, manual-transmission version to woo enthusiasts in need of four doors.”
