Based on a test drive the other day, I'm almost certain I would've gone with the Regal had they both been available. The only thing I can find to 'not like' about it is is the cut of the trunk lid down the side of the car. I know why they did it, but it just jumps out and looks wrong to me.
I purchased a new Regal with delivery on July 13, 2010. The car now has about 2600 km on it and I have enjoyed it very much. Anyone considering the purchase of a Regal must recognize that it is classified as a sports sedan and the ride is somewhat similar to a BMW rather than a traditional Buick. However, I am 75 years old and it was not difficult to adapt.
The ride, handling, quietness are outstanding with a very solid body structure. Also, I find the power train to be excellent. More than sufficient power for the average user.
The only criticism I have is that the outside mirrors are somewhat narrow and restrict the field of view when they are set to check the blind spots.
My recomendation would be to wait until the vehicle is built in Oshawa, Ontario when more colors, both exterior and interior, will be available as well as a more varied option list.
I would buy the car again.
