Sporty may not be a word you'd use to describe any Buick of recent memory. In fact, unless you're familiar with the much loved Buick Regal of the 70's and 80's the notion of a turbocharged Buick might seem strange. And yet there was a time when Buick was a brand for drivers who really liked to drive. After a several year hiatus the Buick Regal has returned with a renewed sense of sportiness, refinement and yes, an optional turbocharger.
This car is gorgeous. I'm waiting for the CXL Turbo though
This whole lexus vs GM thing is crazy. A new Lexus IS in its most basic form will run you around 40k. With this you get pretty much the same thing but at around 25k. People cannot accept that GM is starting to put out a good product that can compete. Not to mention the reliablity and cost factor. working at a lexus dealership i have seen how un reliable they can be and how expensive they are to fix. With American cars they dont break as much and when they do they dont cost as much to fix.
kbb vids have come a long way !
I wasn't crazy about this design at first, but it's starting to grow on me. Should be more interesting once they put the 6 speed manual in with the turbo four.
I always thought The regal was a re-badged Malibu. But this actually way better, even thought it have the same problems as always. One its as small as the Malibu, and its a product of GM. GM hasn't made any good cars since the 70's. They've made so much crap they started to bringing their foreign badged cars over to the USA to make a profit. First the re-badged Holden/Pontiac G8/soon Chevy Caprice, now the Opel/Buick Regal
@Mik5OO Driving conditions are very very different In the US compared to Europe.
I did, and that's for the 2013, this vid is a year old, and the model he or this vid is talking about is most likely on the 2011.
they should have a v6 option. then it would be cool.
Wanna test drive this
My Great Grandfather sold Buicks. He would be amazed at the newer Buicks if he were alive now! WOW!
nice, kbb make a new opening video!
@BuffaloWarrior7 dude it is just about to come out in the States, it should get better and better as years go by. The Regal i sdoing pretty good
@CDTbossy no in their commercial they talk about how its build in germany
I can agree toyota is very reliable i have owned several. Brands like Lexus, Acura, Infiniti do nothing but take the vehicle from the parent company and then add way to many extras which all eventually break. Lexus ES is just a Camry with more bells and whistles. The more crap u put on the more there is to break. Not saying GM doesnt do the same thing but not half as much.
@CDTbossy This is just the crappy Opel Insignia
Wait, why would they comparing this to BMW 3 or Infiniti G? The Regal starts at $27k and those cars are at least $7k higher starting. The Regal competes with the Volkswagen CC, Jetta, or Acura TSX...
I tried watching this review three times. Each time I ended up not paying attention and watching G4.
@richpickens same thing as the regal gs, this is the base model
@ThousanWhite because its Insignia and that compares to 3 series. Vauxhall is a bit cheaper than BMW but its in the same class.
@Raffix394 Dont act like Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan dont all do the same things. Ford brings over the Transit and the Fiesta from Ford Europe, Toyota brings over its JDM models and makes them Scion everyone does that my friend.
@rickerbycourt buick is a mid-level car, Is a mid level car in GMs range above the Chevrolet, but below the Cadillac. They did upgrade the interior, and bells and whistles to fill the midrange position. " Having seen some of the tat the rest of the US car industry produces however, I can understand why its considered a luxury car over there." howmany of said cars sold for more than $20,000?
@ninaloo1 GM has a majority share in Opel. Opel still designs their own cars. GM used one of Opel's designs for this particular model. >_>
i dont get how many people hates GM
Needs a V6!
They should have kept the concept cars front bumpers, they lloked way better than the one implemented here. The car just looks a bit boring from the front IMO. If they would have kept the original sporty aspect of it I think it would have done a bit better at attracting the younger generation of luxury buyers that they are after.
@xjado321 Luxury cars in general are not reliable due to the many added features. ( more on a car more to go wrong with it) But as far as lexus goes i have seen people drive out of the dealership brand new Lexus GX and come back and have 5 dash lights on all related to electrics. I will admit Lexus is better than say... Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Land Rover AS FAR AS REPAIR COSTS GO. Because most of the parts are toyota parts. but beacuse more is put on the car the parts arent as reliable.
How reliable is this car?
wow, thanks for reminding me about the volvo and the milan haha
@xvrhernandez349 they need to put some halogen headlights
like in the Regal, this looks like 90's shit
@CapitanBluebeard you just said lexus is not reliable? You sir have no clue. I had a 1997 lexus gs 400 for 13 years with around 250k miles and it still drove perfect and i sold it. Lexus sells some of the most reliable products.
@Brooky03 If for the same money you can have BMW why buy a fake?
sleeper...cobalts take the turbo 2 liters from these and replace the LNF with them because they can handle more power, have bigger pistons, and higher compression
the engine on the China 2009-present North America 2011-present Buick Regal
Engine
2.4 L LAF Ecotec I4 (gasoline)
2.0 L LHU Ecotec DOHC I4 (t/c gasoline)
2.0 L LHU Ecotec DOHC I4 (high-output t/c gasoline)
Luv this car👍
Uh, KBB, they had turbocharged Regals (the GS) all the way through 2004. And even the naturally aspirated LS version had a 200hp, 220ftlb V6 engine that blows the craptastic Ecotec I4 out of the water. I've test driven this car - it's slow as hell.
yeah,i dont think a buick would ever beat the reliablity of a lexus/toyota.lexus may have to watch out,but i think they wouldnt worry much Lol and i personally think a buick competes more with upper-trim toyotas like avalon and camry XLE, lexus competes with cadillac. if the toyota nameplate doesnt compete with the buick,than i think toyota doesnt make a brand to compete with buicks calss which is a entry brand-premium class.i have nothing against newer GMs,but i just think a GM cant beat toyota
I don't know why people are going on about how this is a sign that american cars are coming back. This is a rebadged german opel.
@tHeWasTeDYouTh well, you kinda look like justin bieber on your profile picture thing but i didnt say anything :P
@CaptSaveAHo3 most of the country gets snow (shit we got it in april) and winter + RWD= suckks hard
Eh I like my 99 supercharged 3.8L Regal better.
Too many buttons...
And its not a sports car if there's no manual trim level. Yes you shift up and down but still has a torque converter...not a clutch.
nvm there's one planed but still 2.0L turbo is a bit small for that sized car although 220hp is not horrible. Rather have the 3.5L V6 sport 6 speed manual ford fusion. Our 2008 Ford Fusion Se 3.0 auto is an amazing car for the price.
I really tried to like this car, but 0-60 in 9.9 sec on a base and 8.4 on a turbo that is just laughable. I guess that is what you get if you fit 2.0t engine in a car that weights more than a moon. My old 02 rsx would smoke this "sport" sedan (or coupe). Also great build quality @4:56. I'm currently on a market for a decent car in 30k range, almost definitely will get 09-10 g37xs
In Europe, the Insignia is considered a "lazy" car, not very sporty, for older people... In the US the same car is considered as sporty... hmm
@rickerbycourt when the majority of people do something and u don't ( fx driving on the right) that means that u r doing it wrong :P
Please stop comparing a ''Opel'' with Lexus, just stop.
@CapitanBluebeard lexus is a luxury car and buick is a pretty typical family car of course the lexus is more expensive..
@tHeWasTeDYouTh uh huh, & were is this getting you? no where, this really isnt helping you :P
it actually starts at 26k
Just like all gm that llook good lately its just a rebadged car designed and engineered in an other country lol. Opel and what that aussie brand that made the g8 I forgot. But yeah lol gm can't design a decent car themselves without having it to be imported lol. American car my ass it screams german...
@derk702 Yep thats true. If you want to see some good car reviews that have a main focus on fuel economy check out mpgomatic channel.. Dan does pretty good reviews and covers a lot of aspects that the big names don't. Just tell him flatblackstrat sent ya, haha.
It is German made clone of Opel Insignia ( name in Europe ) best chose is 2 liter diesel..
infinti G37 for the win.
@donzaliko Opel insignia!
liar. those seats are far too uncomfortable
@CapitanBluebeard The Regal is a Opel Insignia Made in Germany with another badge (and minimal design changes but still roles out of the same factory..) in general GM cars no matter whatt brand aren't as good as the Ford cometitors or those from many European or Japanese firms. (my personal opinion mixed with personal experience)
yeah but the lexus will out run the buicks engine. your compairing the wrong brand class. lexus is a luxary brand of toyota and GM is a group of chevy, buick etc. buick is not a luxary brand and more of a premium chevrolet type. therefore, the price and reliablity will be better than a luxary lexus. like if you compaired a toyota to a lexus, even though they come from the same maker, the toyota still is more reliable. i dont hate buick, but i think it would not beat a toyota/lexus in reliablity.
OPEL INSIGNIA !
and i love that nationality. buy america.
its oldest tick in communism- propaganda or you call it PR. that why apple is so big right now even its overpriced phone and mp3 player
In what way is this better than a Lexus? Because some know-nothing phony in marketing says so?
The turbo , reliability , smoothness , and practicality, true cost to own and matainence would be better . I love the engineering and luxury of a Lexus I had a 95 gs 300. 150 k miles . I think this is Americas version of the gs
What the hell? So american cars of today are actually europeans? Where are those old school 6m long caddys with huge engines and luxury? Gotta change back, othervise there will be no american cars at all
lol they are so proud of it being build in germany :) .....
why dont you just buy a GERMAN car
@CapitanBluebeard "All do the same things" what are you talking about? Rebranding? Not everyone other firms use the same platform for different cars but at least most of the cars also look different like VW for instance the Audi A1 is based on the Polo but you wouldn't see that from the outside. Anyway that's not my point. My point is that GM cars are pretty much crap, and the company wouldn't exist anymore without (illegal) gouvernment help.
Lol
very nice car....but 26,000 plus taxes etc for a Buick fuckkk noooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!! thats why noone buys american cars.
buick doesn't have to go on. It's one of those automobile companies that can die right now really easily. Nothing nice coming out from Buick "Turbocharger makes it sporty" yeah if it was on civic, but not Buick
2ND
when i saw buick regal few days ago i said wow. and i know why. its opel insignia, very beautiful car.
and americas let me say something that most drivers in world know but seems to me you live in bubble. GM cars a cheaper because they have lower standards in car manufacturing. that why lexus is so expensive, or merc, bmw, audi. GM cars dont handle and fuel economy isnt economy. its 100 years old v8.buy jetta, golf(rabbit in us), nissan.if you want best buy go dor new wv polo.its like 3-5L/100km
this review sucks, kbb has no passion at all
HEY EVERYONE, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
