Caterham Project V: The Electric Sports Car That Breaks Every Expectation

2011 Buick Regal Review and Price

Buick Regal

The new Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia. Well, actually, it is the Insignia, albeit with Buick badging and a few tweaks to allow it to conform to U.S.-specific regulations. When it goes on sale in the second quarter of 2010, the Regal will slot in size-wise below the LaCrosse as—get this—an import-fighting sports sedan. Buick cites varied competitors: Acura TSX, Mazda 6, Volkswagen Passat, and Volvo S60. Lending further to its European-ness, the first year’s supply will be built in Europe, specifically the Russelsheim, Germany, plant where the Insignia is produced.
