The last Buick Regal was produced at General Motors'

[CHARGED]

I'll give Bluto my Amen, most have never driven the newer GS and have no idea how nice and fast the car is. If they were RWD they would easilly by 11sec cars.
Sad to see them go but maybe it will open up the door for a RWD redesigned Regal

wait a minute, is the Regal production stopping everywhere, or just at that plant?

I remember seeing something where regals are getting very popular in china (or was it japan?) and that they were building them over there....

I do wish there was a quick RWD car for the same year and $$.

I am starting to drool when I see all these high HP cars coming out. Especialy the RWD ones.

I could not see (for my needs) driving an 87 Regal 500-600 miles a week. Especially in NY. I have seen a few on the NYS Thruway in the winter, but they are rare.

Theres daily driver and then theres DAILY DRIVER.

To the topic point its really sad is to see the Regal name go bye bye.

Brendan- The Regal name is being Retired.

A few questions I bring to the table:

What does this mean for our cars?

Will they go up in value? Be more desirable? Thoughts?

I have diven a Turbo Regal as a daily driver on and off for the last 8 years and they are great. Most of these cars were basic recipe cars that were running in the lows 12's or capable of it. They still get mid 20's gas milage and they actualy ride decent if you keep up the suspension. They have all been very reliable and I have driven them all over the place. My wife drives a Grand Prix GTP. The super charged motor is a great motor that is only stifled by a weak trans axle in a FWD. These cars (GTP GS) are being pushed into the 13's quite easily now. And some guys are going alot farther. I hate to see the Regal go, but history has been rewriten by the turbo Regal so the legacy is there. They are one of the few cars GM allowed to be faster than the Corvette. Of course the Chevy guys didn't think Buick could do it. Those of us who have the turbo cars, whether daily drivers or show cars are going to see the value of these cars go thru the roof in the next couple years as they turn 20 years old and beyond. Buicks focus simply changed as time went by after the RWD days. Just putting my two cents worth in.
