Perfect car for the LS4, wake up GM.
When our Buick Regal GS showed up, we were a little surprised to see bright red Brembo calipers peaking out from inside the wheels. Upon driving it, we understood why. It's not a slow car. In fact, it's pretty quick for a 4-cylinder. But he best part about it is the feel. It's just comforting to drive. Overall we liked the car and the range of creature comforts found inside.
Whoever thought we'd again geek out over a Buick Regal? Those days are back, my friend.
Check out the specs. Turbo? Yep. All-wheel drive? Yep. The only bummer is that you cannot get the all-wheel drive with the six-speed manual. You can get the manual box with front-wheel drive, though, which, if you think about it, is pretty amazing for a car wearing a Buick badge.
What's it like to drive? Don't think of it as the modern equivalent of your grandma's Buick. Think of it like an Americanized Opel.

That was the car I wanted but it wasn't in the budget.
I saw one at work. Talked to the owner. Cool car. Cool guy. The red Brembos did come up.

Being mid-50s and w/ a dad who drove Buicks for the last twenty years has nothing to do w/ my Buick fondness.
Buick is building some good E36 M3 these days.
The real sleeper in Buicks current lineup is the Verano turbo. Cliff's Notes: Delta instead of Epsilon platform, 2.0L turbo, 6-speed manual.
