Buick Regal Named Best Upscale Sedan for the Money

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.”

Although the technical specifications of the 2011 Regal are already well-known in the United States, brand enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the GS version of the model which is expected to arrive sometime this year.

“The Regal GS will set a new benchmark for performance and value in the midsize segment,” DiSalle said. “It represents the next entry in Buick’s product renaissance.”

The 2012 Regal GS will employ an Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo-charged engine which will release 255 horsepower and 296 lb.-ft of torque. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the car will jump from 0 to 62 mph in just seven seconds. An automated transmission will also be introduced to the American market at a later date.
