Motor Trend: Buick Future Car Plans

[hyperv6]

Iv skimmed this thread, and just wanted to throw it out there that the Regal is comming very soon.

If you watch the Buick LaCrosse E-vent, they show an extended version of the new campaign and commercial, which shows the Regal!

go to 2:56-3:57 for the commercial

Regal can be seen at 3:20, 3:28-3:31

Good catch!

Good catch there, Ted! It shouldn't take much more than adding US reg bumpers and side markers to have this thing ready. Any significant time-to-introduction will probably have to do with tooling a plant in NA (Oshawa, IIRC). Perhaps Rüsselheim can make a few Regals alongside the Insignias to help speed up the introduction until Oshawa starts building it.

All you need now is the Astra and to drop that Super-Epsilon-Lucerne idea...

I went to see "Bruno" last night and one of the commercials shown prior to the movie was for Buick. It was basically the same as before, with the director and people brushing up against and showing the LaCrosse and Enclave, but it also had a few seconds of the Regal. (I don't think anyone in the theatre was paying attention except me LOL but I sure was proud when the big Buick tri-shield was on the screen at the end of the commercial. They also showed a commcercial for the Honda Insight and, again, it didn't seem like anyone was paying attention - the level of chatter didn't change during or after it.)

Cool!

I still think GM has the introductions of the 2010 LaCrosse and Insignia based Regal backwards. The Regal should have been launched first to replace the W-body LaCrosse (which would be kind of ironic, since the LaCrosse replaced the Regal). The 2010 LaCrosse should have been rechristened "LeSabre" for the North American market and launched after the Regal to replace the Lucerne (which would also be ironic, since the Lucerne replaced the LeSabre). I don't think GM would lose much market equity or recognition by dropping or replacing the "LaCrosse" and "Lucerne" names in Buick's U.S. lineup.

I'm not a fan of that commercial, it sucks BIG TIME ...
