Buick 16% off sale on old stock

Seeing that these are relatively expensive cars in the first place, this is a note worthy deal. The 2.0T Regal, for example, is about as fast off the line as the V6 Camaro (actually 0.2 sec faster than the 2LS 0-60). They don't handle as well or have 'that look' most Camaro owners want, but man they're pretty sweet rides for commuting.

I like the Regals, especially the GS.

Well funny you should mention the GS, performance wise the GS is actually falling behind a bit. The standard Regal is lighter and beats the GS off the line slightly.

I like that AWD is available for these, good call by Buick.

I love my GS. It is a 2013, FWD. I got a tune for it and it is pretty fast now. It should have been that way from the factory. If it were a few hundred pounds less it would be even faster. But then Buicks weren't very light to begin with.

Ended up with a 2015 Regal 2.0T. Great commuter car, and plenty of pickup. Aside from handling, the Regal blows the V6 Camaro away in every measurable category. Buick wasn't even on my radar (nor was upgrading vehicles this soon). The ~$6,000 in savings from the deal ate most of the gap too. Got $17k on the trade, with one accident (hit a deer/$3800 in cosmetic repairs). Test drive sealed the deal. The reviews were positive, which got me to go to the dealership in the first place.



This forum has been a lot of fun and I'll be checking back often, if anything to watch the mayhem when the Gen6 arrives. lol

Congrats! Regals are great cars. Maybe GM's best kept secret.

Only 150 miles in, but I'm thinking I can get behind that.
