DETROIT -- Chris, a rep from Buick, said that 2004 was the last time they produced the Buick Regal. I asked him why, he said it was due to the mileage factor. When the car is re-introduced for the public in the second quarter of 2010, it will be built based on the Opel Insignia in Russelsheim, Germany for the first couple of years. The first quarter of 2011 they will be built in Oshawa, Ontario Canada and continue to build more there and phase out the German imports.

There was a GS concept version of the Regal based on the Opel Insignia OPC with a 255 hp (190 kW) high-output turbo 14, manual transmissions, and all-wheel drive.

The GS has not yet been confirmed for production. The 2011 Regal will be offered only in CXL trim, with other trim levels expected for 2012.

This was my favorite car at the Auto Show.
