2014 Buick Regal Tops List Of Most Frequently Traded In Vehicles - GM Authority (blog)
Funny that Consumer Reports ranks Regal above offerings from BMW, Benz and Cadillac. Regal has been overly hyped as a sports offering and one must wonder just how many buyers passed on buying GS yet expected a European sportiness. Regal fits poorly into Buick line up. This has been particularly true with the intro of Verano. Next generation, Buick will enlarge Regal putting it into further competition with LaCrosse which will only perpetuate the problem. Regal should be a niche offering, only sold as GS. The car should be benchmarked against Audi and compete as the most fantastic lower price offering therefore filling another white space. Don’t worry, Buick will enlarge the Lacrosse in the next generation to give the Regal some breathing room. I disagree on offering the Regal in GS form only. Those that want the performance or looks of the GS can still opt for it, those that don’t care or can’t afford the step up can still get a decent looking and competent car. I’ve loved the way the Regal looks, but after initially sitting in one at the auto show, I dismissed it due to the fact that my 6?-2? self won’t fit upright in the back seat. Source: gmauthority.com
