I can't believe I'm writing this, but I actually like a Buick! That hasn't happend since the Grand National in the late 80's/early 90's.

I saw this new Buick Regal GS at the new car show last weekend, and I've been thinking about it ever since. It's not a very ;arge car, I'd say slightly smaller than a Fusion, but wider. Built around the German made Opel Insignia OPC I believe. It's got a 255HP Turbo 4 with 295 ft/lb or torque, AWD with a a RWD bias, and a 6 speed manual transmission, adaptive suspension, leather recaro style seats, big ass brakes, and all kinds of creature comforts you'd expect in a BMW or Lexus but in a Buick????!!!! And probably for just a tick or so over 35G's.
The one pictured is a prototype, but insiders insist that it's actually the production GS we'll see in showrooms mid 2011. Could be interesting....or maybe I'm just old now. Either way, could be the best thing out of GM since the Pontiac G8 GT.
