2011 Buick Regal

The transportation in the past has been slow and unefficient, trains weren't just in your back yard and taking the horse and buggy would take to long, so when cars came out there was alot of optimism about getting out. although they would go slow compared to now, they were quite the change in the world. New car companies were made and one was Buick. Buick began making cars for some years until they came out with what they call the best they have ever made. the Buick Regal.
The all new 2011 Buick Regal seemed only a fantasy 18 months ago and no body really thought it would become a reality except Jim Federico. Jim Federico is General Motors vehicle line executive for its global mid-sized car platform. This new Buick was known about by few outside of Federico’s team. The Regal is supposed to take the place of Saturn Aura.
The new Regal has been building and shipping to North America for a few weeks now and has been a hit. About 26,000 Regal’s are planning to be built within the year.


The interior of the Regal is common with the Insignia but distinct from LaCrosse. The LaCrosse gets a broad, flat dashboard with a floating gauge pod and center cluster. The Regal's design has a driver-oriented layout. The materials have a high quality feel and fit and finish was consistently excellent across all of the cars.


One of the biggest complaints about the Regal are its large A-pillars, which cause substantial blind spots. All Regals will be mid-level CXL models, for this coming year of 2011, but in the future they plan to have more performance oriented GS models.
When the first Regals arrive at dealerships in May they will as be powered by the 2.4-liter direct-injected Ecotec inline four-cylinder with 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. Whereas the 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected inline four-cylinder with 220 horsepower will begin being sold in August.
I don't think this really has a future considering that their is no real specialties to it. It is just your average new car, although it may have better mileage on it, it will most likely just be a small step in technology. This definitely will be nothing more then the Buick cars before it.
