    @weatherman: You're right... it's the way the top part and upper corners are shaped, innit?

    In pic 3 - it's got a bit of a snarl going on, it seems. Wonder if the performance can back that up.

    As with any new BMW, it's ugly, but should sell well to all the fashionistas.

    @UDMan: The outgoing model is one of the ugliest cars available today in the NA market, so pretty much anything is an improvement.

    ...and yeah, it will sell, because it's a 5er.

    @UDMan: I will agree that the last generation wasn't pretty, but sometimes, I just don't care what the car looks like on the outside if it drives the way the company 5-er drives.

    This new one does look better so far, though.

    I like how the Capri has the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, the Starsky & Hutch Torino, and the Mad Max Interceptor themes all rolled into it.

    A wonderful cross section of insanity.
    The Faster Farms unwholesome duo wins the incongruity costume award--those fluffy nice chicken costumes framing those mobster-like mugs, complete with cigar.
    But really, the Marvins have a death ray disintegrator gun, so they can clear their own path through traffic. And if a hearing officer showed up in front of the MGBees, they--and the car--would most likely be hauled off for 30 day observation.

    I can't believe no one's been foolish enough to bring a 928 to LeMons before. But I might have to prefer the Teutonic Thunder Chicken to it.

    Aside from evidence of a shocking level of gang-related activity, this is one time I probably wouldn't want to be riding with Jesus.

    Good luck to everyone out there.

    In reply to 2011 Buick Regal: First Drive
    You know, now that there's a manual option, this thing's kinda tempting, if i was in the market for a TSX, Passat or Volvo. But I'm not. Nor will I ever be.

    They should have called it Insignia, though. This is a nice car, and the Regal name is only going to remind people of a car that was decidedly not nice.

    @spuy767: Okay. But, outside of the enthusiast community, when people think "Buick Regal." They're more likely to think of this.

    @spuy767: When it came out? Yeah, it was a nice, clean design. And the supercharged 3800 was and still is a great powerplant. Unfortunately, the interior was wretched and Buick let the car hang around unchanged way too long. Basically, GM did everything they possibly could to kill the Regal name from 1988 until now and all of a sudden it's a world-beating entry-level luxury/sport sedan. I've come to expect this sort of thing, but it's still hard to swallow.

    This car should be the Insignia and the LaCrosse (a name that is 10x worse than Regal) should be the Invicta or Electra. Oh, and both models need a Gran Sport version.

    What brand is represented by the logo in picture number 5?

    It looks a bit like the OPEC logo, perhaps from another era? If it is, than that is the most clever artist ever. Imagine this, the artist could sell the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] one OPEC logo painting for the office and a bunch for the garages. The only thing he would have to do is to convince the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] that gold chrome or real gold leaf is not necessary and does not need to be added to the artwork.

    I really like these... hope the artist does well and can expand the collection to include a Yugo logo.

    @Turboner: Well, both of my "projects are going to be scary then! We (my brother and I) bought an '87 Rx-7 FC. The rotary is going into his Bug and the shell will be receiving a LS engine. The bug weighs maybe 1800lbs and getting the engine from a 26-2700 lb car and the rx is getting the engine from a 32-3800 lb car! Nothing better than a good.. I mean great power to weight ratio.
