How many times have you rented a car, checking off the box for the “midsize” sedan?You hop off the plane, and there’s some generic Pontiac G6 or Mitsubishi Galant waiting in the lot. Well, what we have here could be that next midsize rental, albeit a cut above what I used to get, especially when friends say it “looks nice,” and “looks like a Lexus."What we have here is the base 2010 Buick

Buick Regal - Buick goes sporty

If you go back far enough in Buick history, you’ll actually find some sporty models in the lineup. In recent history however, “Buick” and “sporty” were rarely found in the same sentence. The brand has been branded as the vehicle of choice for the over-60 crowd. Buick has been making a concerted effort to design vehicles that appeal to a broader demographic. They can design and build any type of

2011 Buick Regal - a new breed of Buick

Remember the Buick Regal? It's okay if you don't; though it was in production from 1973 to 2004, it was always the runt of the Buick litter. Though it was a brisk seller, it spent the last decade of its production run virtually unchanged, and became a rental-fleet mainstay before being quietly retired.Don't look now, but the Regal is back, and if you've forgotten about the previous model, you're

Buick Regal CXL - GM's cross pond collaboration

The new Buick Regal is a good-looking vehicle. You comment, “I thought the Regal went away from the Buick lineup about 5 or 6 years ago.” You are correct, but General Motors has brought the nameplate back. Actually, this car is not new because it is sold in Europe as an Opel and in Great Britain as a Vauxhall Insignia. It is simply being brought to North America as a sporty family sedan. Why didn

Buick Regal - a growth hormone for an iconic brand on the rebound

It’s an improbable story. Stuck in the mud, Buick looked like a sure candidate to be eliminated by a struggling General Motors a couple years back. Sales in 2009 had slumped to just over 100,000 units and the average age of Buick buyers had risen to nearly 70. Those numbers should have spelled the end of the line for the venerable brand; but instead, Pontiac got the ax and Saturn was put on the
