Hey everyone! I know this is slightly off topic but I noticed a few comments about why my facial expressions seem off in the video so I thought I should answer it. I recently was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy so the entire right side of my face is partially paralyzed. Thankfully, it’s not permanent and I’m on medication to treat it, but you might notice it in the next few videos. Just thought I’d be honest with you all and share what’s going on! Thanks for watching as always :) - Sofyan

That 3.0 from Cadillac is only for Cadillac only. The 3.6 TT for the XTS -V sport makes 410hp. All they have to do is put twin turbos on the same 3.6 in the GS and get 410 hp.

dhan219 in the rehlm of higher performance vehicles specialty cars commonly receive parts from higher end models. With that said, no the engine in this new Regal GS(LGX engine) is from the same 4th generation family as the 3.0 TT V6 in the CT6(LGW engine). The 3.6 TT V6 LF3 is based off the old 3.6 LFX. They are of old designs and you don't want your new car with an old engine in it. The new LGW is much more fuel efficient and despite being rated at less power than the LF3, puts more power to the ground making the CT6 much faster than the XTS V-sport.

When you buy during the 20% off MSRP sale, Buick is essentially paying off your depreciation for the first couple of years. The resale hit is on Toyota/Honda with little to no discount and 4 years down the road they cost the same as the Buick but do not offer 4 years 50,000 mile warranty. My old Verano MSRP was the same as Jack Barth's Accord V6, from TTAC, less with discounts, and the same 3 years 36,000 miles later. So much for Honda residuals.

I just stumbled across your reviews. You are by far my favorite car reviewer now. Keep up the great work man, I dig it!

I love my Vauxhall Insignia/Opel Insignia/Buick Regal VXR/OPC/GS I'm 37 and am gonna straight buy one these machines in black, can't wait.

I love how Buick went the extra mile for the Regal GS over the standard Regal - Acura can learn a thing or two about differentiation such as in the TLX and the A-spec car which is only a bodykit, suspension and wheels. I'm liking what Buick has done and done so without compromising the livability of the Regal itself. Sure a V6 turbo with 400hp can be in the cards & also bring a revival of the famed Regal Grand National, but the Regal GS does a great job balancing out daily usability and adding a touch of sporting factor that gets the enthusiasts excited.

@markbotta8567

Your post is true enough. But the "long way" comment was more a reference to Buick's past land yacht/geezer reputation. Much like Caddy's rep which they have worked hard to change over the last decade. As far as rebadging goes, that is a very common practice among manufacturers, so your observation is hardly noteworthy. One only needs to look at Acura/Honda or Lexus/Toyota to see cars that may be based on more "plebian" models. Additionally, while not a rebadge, the Genesis G70 model will have been on sale in Korea well over a year before it will ever see these shores. I doubt anyone will be complaining about that. The GM/Opel partnership had been a long standing one. Whether or not Buick engineers were involved is hardly relevant, although your statement to that effect elsewhere is incorrect. If nothing else, the car had to be modified to meet US safety standards. But, the bottom line to take away from this is - should the Buick GS be at least considered if someone is looking for a GS/GT type driver. Based on Sofyan's review, that answer is YES.

Looks okay and will put it on my buy list too!

Great job on this review all I noticed was how well you did this review thanks and I agree with you this V6 sounds great,this maybe the best car yet by the New Buick but it needs steering wheel shifter added

I'd rather buy a used Chevy SS or even an older Pontiac G8 GXP than spend over $40K on a Buick Regal with a 6 cylinder engine and no paddle shifters or manual transmission offered. More horsepower and torque on the Chevy or Pontiac, much better exhaust sound, and manual transmissions available too . The Chevy SS had magnetic ride control too starting with the 2015 model. What is Buick really giving you for $40K, other than Brembo brakes?

Not another weirdo wanting a manual so their car can be slower

What a awesome car. Maybe next year will see those paddle shifters and a wagon version.

The Opel and Holden versions get all the stuff this is missing. They are lowered, they get paddle shifters, a 360 camera, automatic park assist, engine stop/start (those are the two missing buttons by the shifter), larger spoiler, larger 20" wheels, and color matched brake calipers.

Buick has come a long way of course, and their safety and reliability is top notch. However it's the little things that they need to offer to sway people over comparable cars. No auto windows for the rear? No pano? No paddles, no motorized hatch? And the interior is so plain. I think the old GS was better looking.... That being said I would drive one but not buy one.

You do know that Buick had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to do with the development, designing or engineering this car, right? It's 100% a German car, Opel Insignia, been on sale in Europe for almost 2 years now but again americans pretend to live in a parallel universe and ignore facts.

I do know that, I also do know that Opel would not be the company it was today whatsoever as General Motors bought Opel in 1929... This is a general motors car, designed by Opel and named Buick here. So yes texhnically it's a Buick as well. Hell the concept Insignia in 2003 had a Corvette engine. Obviously many ignorant Europeans such as yourself are oblivious to this!!

Bartosz Zachwieja it doesn't make sense what you say. You had 2 Insignia? Why buying 2 if you don't like it and why watching an Buick Regal GS review? Either you lie or you are schizophrenic.

Another good looking car built by GM motors.

Opel is owned by PSA group. Not GM anymore.

Great Review! I love this Car. Thumbs up Buick.

Nice review! I agree, it should have a turbo V6, something like last year’s Insignia OPC’s 2.8L V6 turbo. With that said, the V6 is a welcome upgrade to the turbo 4 and seems to make sporting sounds. Aesthetically it is attractive but there seems to be too much fender gap. Did they remember to take the shipping spacers out?😉. I love the Sportback lift back!

The grand national was a 2 door muscle car 🤦🏾‍♂️

I dont understand how you can review this car and not mention the Kia Stinger GT. It also has a V6, is offered in AWD, is a sportback, and costs about the same... yet is so much better looking (not that the regal is bad looking, but if you had a coupon for a free car, and you could pick between the regal and the stinger... I think we all know which would win).

I think the Regal GS is more handsome, and I'd buy it before the Stinger, which is also a very nice car!

Sorry to hear about your health. FWIW, I didn’t notice anyth8ng out of the ordinary, so don’t let yourself become too self conscious. I’m digging this Buick, strangely enough.

Yo this thing looks dope!

Great looking car but I’d rather have the Stinger.

tykszeto agreed. I feel it would be more appealing to a wider demographic if they strapped an Opel or Vauxhall/Holden badge on it. There is nothing “American” or “Buick” about this car. It’s designed, engineered and built in Germany.

Hope you get better soon!

Looks really nice

So is this any better than a Camry v6? I don't care what Buick says this will probably be croshopped with accords, and camrys. We already know the Buick has a pretty mediocre interior. This thing is hella heavy too. It's a pretty car on the outside but idk if Buick did enough to the GS. The base regal doesn't even have real leather in it. SMH. Wish the GS the best but I'm cut too many corners on the inside.

Todd Wilson it wieghs almost 500lbs more. Has 5 extra horse power and 12 more lbs of torque. Awd will help it hook up but it's hard to overcome similar power and much much less wieght. . Still doesn't give this thing a better interior. I've been in both cars. This regal interior is bad man. I don't know about the GS seats they may be better but the rest of it will underwhelm on the inside.

cj miller The Accord is a no go for me . 2 reasons, the CVT and the small turbo engines. Don't care how much hp you get from those 4 cylinders they still feel and vibrate like small 4. The Camry V6 is the only one I would cross shop but the Buick will be more expensive

Polestar Wes I don't disagree in that regard. I'm not on the turbo car train either. It just seems like Gm cut too many corners to keep from undercutting the Cadillac brand. Turning the interior black in the GS isn't going to turn that pleather into the real thing. Every generation the midsize segment goes thru just kills the need for the entry lux brands like Acura and Buick. It's a pretty car and looks do sell cars, but when people cross shop they'll see what I'm saying about the cost cutting.
