When the new Malibu came out I loved the nose and the sides, but wasn't big on the tail end (it's growing on me, but I don't love it.)

This car looks great from every angle. If the reliability is there, this should be another home run for GM.

The new Regal is something...wow...it's just beautiful and such a step in the right direction. It used to be that you couldn't buy a "nice" American car unless you went to Caddy, and even then they were filled with Cavalier crap-tastic crap. No longer.

Based on appearance alone, I'd throw this in with the nicer cars. I'd definitely hold it up to a Lexus IS, or an Audi A4...

Thats kind of a balsy move going all 4cyl . in a car like this . Its a great looking car and ....super cool that they left the insignia interior virtually unchanged .

Now , about that AWD , 6-speed MANUAL , turbo v6 GS

I've always been a fan of Buick (have a Regal GS right now and love it, by far the best car I've ever owned), but for some reason that car doesn't excite me as much as I hoped it would.

Maybe it's just the color, I don't know. I don't hate it, but it just looks kinda boring to me.

I like it. Love the engine choices, I just hope they offer the turbo 2.0L with a manual some day. Nice to see 18" wheels standard. This is the first Buick car that I would consider buying. I would way rather have this than a Malibu, Accord, Camry, Altima, etc..

I hope these are the 19"s they offer

Looks very nice, but I think it's a mistake to not even offer a v6 as an option.

That would be coming in a GS model later on. (SIDI 3.6L probably like the Camaro)

Turbo 2.0L will have V6 power and only 1mpg less than the 4cyl. I'd rather have the T2.0L than a 3.0L V6.
