Hi Member's,
One of my grandfather's friends just purchased a
2012 Buick Regal GS like below & I did a web search to see
what it looked like & read a review on it...
Since it's a GM Product, I thought some member's would enjoy reading about this Turbo Four Banger with a six (6) speed stick...I'm looking forward 2 the oppurtunity to drive it 4-Sure

2012 Buick Regal GS, at the General Motors Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Mich., with a 1963 Riviera, 1970 GSX and 1987 GNX.
Hagerty, the collector-car specialist and insurance company, included the 2012 Buick Regal GS among its annual Hot List of collectible cars, an indication that the turbocharged Buick sedan could become coveted hardware for collectors in coming decades.

Please post your thoughts/comments ~> EnJoy, Thank You!
It maybe not be 4 everyone, but it's a superSuper Young Grandfather's ride 4-Sure

 

Would be better if it got the Turbo V6 that the Euro ones get, the Euro GM cars always get the better stuff it seems

 

WoW `Mike,
You really know about cars...I will have to do more research & read about the V6 `Turbo...
I just think it's great that my grandfather's friend who is in his mid 70's + got a Turbo + a six speed stick ...He had a Grand National b-4 I was born & met him, but he's a car nut.
He had a Infinti coupe b-4, but it was a automatic...
Thanks for sharing/posting

p.s. I can't wait to get back home & get a chance to drive `it + I'm really home sick + (miss the ocean 2)....
I hope 2 see my beachbum friends this weeked
Wish you & Member's a Super Day/WeekEnd

 

Yup the Turbo V6 makes 55 more hp & that is great deff a true car guy for sure, i love manual cars & i wish they would make more of them

 

All in all not bad considering the target audience GM was going after. I can see it filling a niche in the market.

 

GM is actually working on a twin-turbo version of the 3.6 V6 that you see in a bunch of cars. They have it estimated at 400hp/425tq right now. Figure that will probably be the base power-plant of the ATS and Camaro, that is CRAZY. Especially since I'm sure modding will open up those twin-turbos very nicely

 

Thanks Mike,
I just found this vid on the Web, it's from 2009, but it's the turbo V6 Version...*It has English Sub Titles, & yes, what a diffference...It's a decent vid.

Click 2 view...It's a fun vid & I hope that Buick
brings the V6 Turbo 2 the USA 4-Sure
We are POWER HUNGRY Well, maybe we were, and may change our minds if the price of fuel keeps climbing
We will be buying one cylinder rides Oh `no

 

They can do a lot with turbos and smaller engines. I wouldn't be so sure that we will be running miniature engines just yet

 

But it's still a 4 door

 

Hi `Amy,
They build a coupe just 4 U

I hope that GM brings this one over here 2 the USA/Canada 4-Sure...or `Amy, you could go over & get one

Thanks everyone for your posts & comments...4-Sure
