05GT Guru Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 You testdrove "Regal Turbo", not GS. The gs is FWD but has a AWD option. Although the only way to get the 6 speed manual is too have FWD. All AWD models will have an auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Really, did they announce that? Cause I heard AWD option It doesn't look like they officially announced it, but a lot of car sites are reporting it. One of the GM execs was apparently quoted saying, "We don't think people will want that feature." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Most people aren't aware of what AWD offers them. And people tends to stick to their ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Most people aren't aware of what AWD offers them. And people tends to stick to their ways. Most people would take 2-3 more mpg over AWD, which is moronic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 From Autoblog:One year ago, a Buick Regal wagon was deemed "unlikely." However, General Motors is reportedly looking to expand the Regal lineup, not just with a rumored coupe, but with the estate seen here. Sources within GM say that the Regal wagon could debut as early as the end of this year, making it a 2012 model year vehicle. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/06/01-buick-regal-wagon-spy-shots.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/06/02-buick-regal-wagon-spy-shots.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithAkaMrak Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The wagon looks pretty much identical to the Opel version, save for the grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If the grille were a direct swap, it would look a TON better. http://wot.motortrend.com/files/2011/04/opel-insignia-wagon-front.jpeg The rear is identical, except for the badge: http://wot.motortrend.com/files/2011/04/opel-insignia-wagon-rear.jpeg [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

BAC5.2 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 wtf For the suspension. "This system changes the algorithm of the damper-mounted blow-off valves, and changes steering effort by altering the amount of fluid that flows through the pump and rack. Computers dictate the opening and closing points of the blow-off valves, based on a suite of G-sensors and accelerometers."
