Question Buick Regal update?

I'm sure I've asked this before, (think of me as Tom Hanks in Mr. Short Term Memory) but with the Grand Prix being a new model, won't the Regal soon follow and if so, does anyone know what to expect?

I think the new Regal was supposed to debut as an 04, but Lutz canned the design, calling it disappointing, boring, and unispiring... and ordered a re-do, so it's probably looking at 05...

The Century name is supposed to go away, with Regal offering more trim levels...

Never understood why they used two names on the same car anyways...

Like the 2 door Monte Carlo and the 4 door Lumina? Actually that's in its own league for ridiculous ideas.

Well now I have something to look forward (disappointed) to next year.

Exactly...

Well, at least the Monte was a two door, and the Lumina was a 4 door....

The Regal and Century are both 4-doors even!

I was referring to the 1995-1999 Monte Carlo/Lumina twins...

But, yes, the 2000+ Monte Carlo and Impala share the same architecture... but at least the both have unique bodies and interiors, which makes it hard to even tell the share a platform... this is very acceptible, IMO... light years ahead of what they have done in the past!
