Looks like Buick has been eyeing Acura lately. They're marketing the 2011 Buick Regal as a direct competitor to the TSX. Also thetruthaboutcars.com has recently posted some spy shots of what is most likely Buick's answer to the Acura RSX. Its another Opel being distributed in north america as a Buick.

I would have thought they'd been aiming higher.

True that. I figured they were going after the Lexus level. Maybe that's why the 4-cylinder engines didn't sit that well with me.

Its all baby steps. Lexus is doing pretty good compared to its low end counter part Toyota. Acura is a lot easier to for them to beat in the luxury car department.

i'm sure if they have really good success with the regal here that they would probably design a car to compete with lexus luxury sedans. they're just starting to break out of the mold that they only cater to senior citizens.
