    hmmm... if they could just get it to the show rooms and quit congratulating themselves for something not yet accomplished then maybe we will see after we get the reviews.... lets hope its as exciting as it looks.

    Glad hear Buick is returning a turbo charged regal....  I'm one the old people mentioned in the forum that have owned buicks, 87 Grand National, (2) 87 turbo regals, 86 turbo regal.  I have not owned or even thought about owning a buick until now, very interested in the 2011 regal GS. I still own G-body turbo buicks.  Yes I am a Grandpa!!!!!!!!!!!

    Buick has done a great job in transforming itself.  I remember when my mother had a Regal when I was in high school (20 years ago..: ) and although it was nice car, it just didn't appeal to me.  Now this Regal GS has me excited.  After owning Chevys, Fords, Nissans, Hondas, Acuras, BMWs and Lexus over the years, I'm looking forward to seeing the Regal GS in person.  The current TL is too big and the interior in the new Maxima doesn't impress me.  Based on looks, the Regal GS design flows well without any being bulky (attn: Acura) and I love the German DNA.   AWD? Turbo? 6-spd Man? Recaros?.......Where do I sign!!!!!???!!!!

    I love the new Regal GS. The design makes you want to buy it, which is a first for me, especially considering that it's a Buick (Old Persons car). My only problem with the car is, why are we only getting the 2.0 turbo charged 4 cylinder. In europe the car comes with a turbo 6. In Comparison tests in Europe this car goes against the likes of Audi's S4 and BMW's 335i both of which are over 300hp. Send the big Motor here with the rest of the car. (255hp is nice but 325hp is better ).

    I love the look of this car. When it comes out later this spring, I wll test drive it. If it's as good as they say then I'll probably buy the 2.0L Turbo version. I hope I'm not disappointed with the test drive as I really want this car.

    To me a Buick has always been for old people....and their parents.  This new Regal GS is the First Buick since the 53 Skylark Convertible that I would drive.  I currently have a Pontiac G8 and a GMC Sierra.  Not only is the new Regal the first Buick that I could see myself in, it's a car that has the "Gotta have it" look to it.  It looks like I'll be driving a Buick for he first time in my life.  Please leave off any fake wood panelling in it and use some carbon fiber.  Also, please don't tone it down for production.  This is exactly what I'm looking for. Please don't turn the GS into a Rental car special.

    Never thought i'd be looking at a Buick,  but yeah,  this new Regal and the LaCrosse both very hot.
    Looking forward to sitting in both of them at the show.

    For all my 18 years of life, I have loved cars. It's never been in the stereotypical 14 year-old loving Ferraris way though. I've always had a thing for cars that evoke passion and excitement in driving, yet are still affordable enough that anyone can own one. I've been about style and pride in ownership. I grew up loving Audi's, Pontiac G8's, and others of the like. I never ever even thought about driving a Buick.

    But this car changes that.

    This, for me, an 18 year-old guy drooling at a computer screen, is what a car should be. Look at it! It's beautiful, bold but not brash, quick, and driver-oriented. They have done everything right. Turbocharged? Got it. Manual? Yup. Sexy? I dare say yes. Someway, somehow, Buick has brought a car to the table that makes me want it like I've only wanted few other cars. I'm stunned. And even though it's a Buick, I'm not ashamed.

    I want this car. Plain and simple. I know I'm not the only one that would drive one. GM needs to make it, and make it quick.
