Looks nice, but if I told hot blondes that I drove a Buick, and I'm in my 20's, knowing they don't know much about cars, they'd laugh at me.
I'll wait until buick is no longer the marque of the grandpa generation. As long as they feature Buicks driven in movies by young actors in action films doing stunts like James Bond or Jackie Chan!

I think it looks good on the inside and outside... Lets hope the turbo 4 will perform like the Acura TSX

Yes!!! Yes yes YES!!! It's like an Herbal Essences commercial!
The Enclave got the ball rolling with this re-imagination of what Buick can and should be. The all new Lacrosse so starkly contrasts what we've come to expect from Buick sedans, that you kind of just want to buy one because it's such a massive step forward for the brand. I've had the chance to have a seat in both cars and they are wonderful vehicles. I see no reason why the Buick Regal will disappoint.
I truly wish that the front end looked more like the car it's based on, the Opel Insignia. But it's what inside that counts. Not all that much has changed overall though, which is very reassuring. The drive trains don't sound disappointing either, particularly the 2.0 liter turbo, which i'm guessing is a de-tuned version of the engine found in the Cobalt SS and Saturn Sky Redline.
I just hope that they haven't made the suspension or the brakes too soft. And praying that we get the wagon and, if it's not too much, the turbo 2.8 liter V6 with all wheel drive. Can you hear me, Government Motors? Wagon, turbo V6, all wheel drive. Make it happen!!

Very good looking car. Buick has really found a great design team. Although you can see the resemblance to the current Aura/Malibu. Concerned that this is too close in size too the Lacrosse. Buick needs to be careful not to overlap vehicles again, like the old Regal did with the Century.
