It is a well-known fact that the 2018 Buick Regal is the rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Insignia from Opel which belonged to GM up until a few months ago. Every single Buick Regal from 2011 to 2017 had been the same way. It is also written in the video description. With only one exception being the Opel never will have a 3.6L V6.
It doesn't need 7 out of every 10 people to point it out.

Now we need a Buick Regal Grand National

Buick really stepped up on this. Looks and sounds great. Might try to drive one in the future.

In all honesty, this is a really big step up for GM. It looks and sounds good. I don’t care if this car was made in the middle of Jamaica. If GM offers some good incentives, y’all got a buyer. 😂

i really love the look of this car for a GM.

[carlosomargonzalezresendiz]

It is very very beautiful that car, I love its colour

Yes, we get it, this is an Opel Insignia in European markets. No one cares. Every large auto manufacturer badge engineers or uses the same platform to develop many different models. It saves a lot of money and sells a lot more cars to a wider audience.

I have a new 2017 GS and really enjoying it. I prefer some of the styling cues on the 17, especially my 20 inch rims over this. But I think the interior panels on your red car have a cleaner design and look to have a better fit and finish than my 17.

Hello from Winding Road Magazine my name is Onaijay Leon Scott from North Miami Beach, Florida that 2018 Buick Regal GS looks very nice sports car.

this is also sold as the new commodore here in australia

[CPUspeed]

Do you use the Sony fdr x3000? What setting do you use? I find shooting from shade to light things get very washed out. Or do you just fix in post?

[kenlawton]

This is the new Holden Commodore here in Australia. Not selling well. Die hard holden fans can't get over that it's not available as a RWD V8. Fact is this trumps previous commondores in most areas but they just can't get over it.

[DoSumMe]

We get it, it's a rebadged insignia.

[mmz]

Cool car but I really dislike this stop-start BS

[spillow]

4270 lbs... the ATS with the same engine is 3500 lbs

[brucewayne]

That's an awesome camera. What's the name of the camera?

[alexh]

How is this car in terms of driving dynamics compared to the ATS 3.6 and CTS 3.6 ? Anyone had a chance to drive this new Regal GS versus the Cadillacs 3.6 ?

[scarsoflife]

ok shit its the opel and in the united states its buick its annoying af that every comment is like "thats an opel insignia" we have known that since 2011 when the regal came back out

[kennyd]

A cool rebadged vauxhall insignia (UK version) with slightly different interior

I feel like the Brembo brakes are wasted on a car like this. The people who buy them aren't really going to track them right. I think if they jsut robbed the 4-piston brakes off the Camaro that would be more than enough. Hell even floating calipers would be ok. I would gladly trade the Brembos for adaptive ride, so you can get that incredibly smooth and isolated ride quality Buick is known for.

The interior is a lot nicer than the Acura TLX A-spec which is a similar car to his (300hp, AWD, 9-sp Auto etc), and has a better trunk due to the hatchback design over the Acura. But I bet Acura will sell more because of the Mid-2000s TL and how people remember those cars.
