Buick Regal Fueling Brand's Growing Cross-Generational Appeal

Published Saturday, 29 January, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

When 24-year-old Caley Webber of Florida first saw the all-new Buick Regal CXL Turbo she couldn't believe it was a Buick. The recent college graduate and insurance adjuster said she'd never considered buying a Buick, but the sleek sporty sedan Webber test drove changed her perception.

"I knew I had to have one," Webber said of the Regal Turbo. "It's cool and young and looks way more expensive than it actually is. Now, all of my friends love my car."

Such positive word of mouth about the Regal, not to mention the Buick LaCrosse and Enclave, helped to boost Buick's total annual sales 40 percent last year, making it the fastest-growing major automotive brand in the United States.

"One key to Buick's recent success is the execution on the products," said David Cole, chairman emeritus of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. "They are terrific and the word is getting around."

Buick Regal Named Best Upscale Sedan for the Money

Published Wednesday, 26 January, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

General Motors' 2011 Buick Regal recently made the news and in very big way. The U.S. News and World Report has named the Regal the "Best Upscale Sedan for the Money."

The Regal squared off against vehicles from BMW and Lexus for the competition, with the award being based on a total of 27 published reviews of the Regal, according to a press statement from GM.

"This award confirms what many Buick Regal buyers have already found out," said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing. "The Regal delivers a dynamic driving experience which competes with the best import sport sedans in the mid-size car segment. Just as importantly, this sleek, smart, top-safety-rated car is attracting new customers to the Buick brand."

My Review of Dave Arbogast Used Cars:

I asked many questions about the truck I wanted on the on-line chat, which was always quickly answered by Richard West. I had some strange title issues that needed addressed and he found the proper people and told me what I needed to do to get the deal done. We drove in from Fort Wayne, IN to get the Terrain and Richard came from his office across the lot (in the rain, mind you) to introduce us to a salesman. Not only did we get the best deal from Arbogast, we also got great service and friendly employees all around. We wouldn't hesitate to buy from Arbogast again or recommend friends and family to them. Thanks again!

My Review of Dave Arbogast Buick GMC:

While searching cars.com my husband found the limited edition of the vehicle we had been looking for with 11K miles. Basically brand new. After seeing other limited edition prices, we knew there was no way we could afford this one, but when we saw the price listed by Dave Arbogast, we were blown away. We called and talked to Joe about the vehicle that night. It was late and we are an hour behind them. We had a question about the vehicle and even though they were closed, Joe ran outside and physically looked at the vehicle for us. After two more late night conversations with Joe, probably 8:30 their time, well after closing, we decided to drive up and look at it. We are 4 1/2 hours away but Joe had assured us the vehicle was in perfect condition. It was too good to be true but we trusted him...
