2015 Buick Regal GS is one sexy automobile - Boston.com

It was a great way to start the day: a sexy sports sedan was parked in the driveway and the key was in my pocket. To be specific, it was a 2015 Buick Regal GS AWD sedan. Not so surprising, since the Buick Regal has much of the same mechanical and styling features found on its German Opal cousins. The original Buick GS muscle car, the one this Regal pays homage to, was great looking. By way of contrast, Buick’s recent history in the area of style and power has been unremarkable. Yet, with its sleek styling, 20-inch bright alloy wheels, and Pirelli P ZERO “summer only” performance tires, this 2015 Buick Regal GS was anything but bland. I also noted a set of shiny Brembo logo performance brake calipers peaking through the spokes of the alloy wheels. This hinted that we were looking at a sports sedan, not a pavement scorching muscle car. The Regal GS has a 2. 0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a shiftable 6-speed automatic transmission. There is a dash mounted switch for the Sport mode, which provides a firmer ride and sportier engine and transmission setting. There is also a switch marked GS that offers more aggressive suspension and engine settings. Source: www.boston.com
