This is not your father's Regal. This is not your grandfather's Regal.

When thinking of Buick Regal in 2011 terms, you must clean the memory slate. This is another in the NEW Buick lineup, a sports sedan in the image of the European Open Insignia. The Insignia won the prestigious European Car of the Year Award last year and now the car is available to American drivers in the form of a Buick.

Styling is one of its strong suits. It is a handsome near-luxury sedan.
