European styling is OK, but European size isn't always a winner. If you drive for three hours in parts of Europe, you've gone through six countries.
If you drive three hours in America, you've probably gone through six towns. Previous attempts to build "world cars" have failed miserably here because we want more, more, more.
Of course, it's nothing that $7/gal gasoline won't fix.
I personally like the design of the Regal GS - more sporty and will appeal to a younger crowd. I especially love the interior - those seats look really nice...
Now we just have to see if the handling/performance of the Regal GS matches the appearance
You can find some you tube video's on the new Opel Insignia OPC.....Hopefully this will prove to be the genesis for the 2013 Regal GS ? They are adding a 6cyl twin turbo @ 325HP combined w/AWD. If Buick really wants to step into Euro sports car territory they will need to add this level of performance to the Regal. I have the 2011 2.0T and it is punchy, fun to drive but I would never have the confidence to line it up next to some of the cars that GM is gunning for in this class. Aside from the HP and drive train, the Regal is spot-on in design and comfort.
