While unveiling the 2011 Buick Regal Sports Sedan in Hollywood last week, Bob Lutz stated to Steve Siler of Car and Driver, that a manual transmission model and all-wheel drive/ 335-hp range topper would complement the four-cylinder models that was announced.
The Regal name was chosen due to its heritage as one of the more sporting Buick models of the past so revisiting the GS or GSX models would be a natural fit. Using the Insignia Tourer as the bases for the OPC, (the model in Europe uses 325-hp turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 along with a six-speed manual, and AWD transmissions)Stateside, this could just increase Buick's sport offering in an arena where Subaru and Ford offer a sports wagon.
