    From L to R in the pic above: The back looks nice, the sides look nice, but once you get to the A-Pillar, it kinda blows. #buickregal

    I guess I like it better than the LaCrosse. Those faux fender creases on the LaCrosse offend me.

    If this seems like damning by faint praise, it is. #buickregal

    The tweaks look inoffensive so far, especially the loss of the China version's tiny side vents. No VentiPorts, please.

    Personally, I think that it leans toward the ugly side of boring in aesthetics. It looks fat, and has an incongruously goofy swooping body line. It's as if they smoothed everything out too much, and then decided that it was too smooth, and had to break it up somehow.

    And, yeah, I'd rock a BRAT. #buickregal

    While I like it, I fear we're getting into K-Car badgineering territory with the Insignia platform. Also, it needs a Landau top to appeal to the old folks. #buickregal

    Subaru tried to sort of reintroduce the BRAT, remember? They botched it badly.

    All would be forgiven, however, if another attempt was based on the AWD Toyobaru. #buickregal

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: With the dearth of small pickups available in the U.S., a car based pickup would have the market to itself. All it will take is a decent implementation (with more than a foot or two of bed space). #buickregal

    @cabjf: The Baja was trying to be too many things, and wound up being a sedan without a lid on its trunk. For the purposes of a car based pickup, they really should have foregone the rear seats/doors in favor of more bed space, and the Outback style cladding wasn't helping it win any pageants, either. If they had gotten it to market with a 5.5-6ft bed (even with just 2 seats), it would have been a great option for just about anyone in the market for a standard cab Ranger or Colorado.

    If I can find a good deal on a late '90s Legacy, I'll have to make what the Baja should have been. #buickregal

    I never understood the whole "Mid-sized Buick" thing. Who buys these? I mean, isn't the whole point of a Buick to be all big and barge-y?

    can I get a two door turbo v-6 version that looks like Darth Vader would drive it?

    If not... not Interested.

    Not bad looking at all. I think some of the folks here are being a little too quick to pre-judge this car. As for the Regal name, it could have been worse given the fad for alphanumerics - "Announcing the 2011 Buick RGL 280!"

    BREAKING: GM still sucks and is playing with car names again, who cares. This isn't like the return of the Camaro, just a car that will have the name Regal stamped on it.
    HOOOOOOPLAH!

    People stopped caring about the Regal when it was switched to FWD in '88. Just like the last real Impala was made in '96.

    2010...9-5? LaCrosse? Regal? Insignia? maybe even Impala, whatever. It is all just a variation of the same platform. If they have an AWD option, then it might be fun to drive.

    HOOOOOOPLAH!

    PS, you guys are such GM's bitches.

    The people who care are too old to know what a "blog" or a "Twitter" is, so this news falls on deaf ears.
