2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
GM actually stopped using the Greek names officially but everyone in the industry still uses them because its easier than saying "Global midsize car architecture" or whatever they say officially.
Thus far no versio of epsilon with a wheelbase longer than that of the Lacrosse has been confirmed. The Cadillac XTS concept had the same wheelbase as the Lacrosse.
They both have a base 4 and a turbo 4.
But, with all that said, you do get a lot with the Regal, a lot of features, but does it really drive like German?
If you want a well damped ride, miminal body lean and nice steering weight than the regal is definitely German in nature.
Last month 1776 Regals were sold vs about 2300 TSXs. Considering the TSX has been around since 2004 I would say thats a pretty good showing - especially since the turbo isnt even on sale yet.
But actually, it is the newest thing that usually sells the best (for a time limited period--until it is renewed again...or screwed up). The Regal would probably be outselling the TSX if it were more available than it is. If dealers had more, they could afford to deal a bit. As it stands now, they go for close to list, no lower.
Well I read that Buick dealers have close to 6k in stock so there are plenty of Regal's out there. I have seen numerous billboards and TV ads but I think they need to keep working to get the word out. Of course the other factor is that incentives are limited while most competitors are offering deals.
I'm anxious to sit in a Regal once the turbo comes out and see what I think. I'm annoyed that they only come in dull colors though. Hoping there will be a nice red in the turbo edition but I havent been following it as closely as the Optima.

I admit that the Regal is a very good car for the price but is it better than the 3 series and the G?
Also, they're giving a lot of points for the turbo version, which isn't actually available yet.

2012 Regal is supposed to get a lower trim level and remote start.
MT has the first performance stats for this car contained in review of Sonata turbo.
0-60 in 7.5 secs, 113ft braking from 60, .83g on skidpad and a faster figure 8 time than the 3400lb Sonata
Emailed the general and got a "duh idunno " in response.
so do you guys think it is possible that the price will drop when 2012 models come out?
Should i wait a little bit (maybe only a month) to pull the trigger?
thanks in advance for your advice.
They are due to switch production of the Regal from Europe to Oshawa Canada. I think that's supposed to make it cheaper for them to produce so that might make a difference in sales. Last I read that was due to happen Q1 of 2011.
Based on the limited Lacrosse incentives that have been offered I wouldnt expect much for the Regal anytime soon.
This car is still on my top 3 test drive list. I read good things about it, hope the prices are reasonable.
somehow i feel like a German-made Car has better value.
I test drove a couple of 2010 VW Tiguans (made in Germany) not long ago and the wind noise was horrendous.
The wind noise in the Canadian-built RAV4 and the Equinox are non-existent.
The Regal isnt really an "American car" anyway, its a European car being sold under the Buick name in the US. The regal is no more refined or quiet than the Malibu or CTS or Camaro or even Cruze. I had an Aura before this and it was actually quieter on the highway thanks to laminated side glass- which the Regal and the vaunted imports still lack. In the Saturn 80mph sounded like 60. I had a rental Altima for several days last year and the road and wind noise was much worse than my Saturn. If there is one thing GM takes seriously, its noise suppression- its one reason why their vehicles are heavier than their Japanese counterparts.
Center stack buttons are very easy to use and with steering wheel controls you dont need to touch most of them. It takes all of 15min to understand them.
