Buick Regal GS 2011


The HiPerStrut suspension system promises a firm but compliant ride while allowing the driver to attack the twisties with glee, and the adaptive chassis system lets the driver tune the car's responses to suit his or her mood. Either way, performance is sub six seconds 0-60 mph, and big 14 inch Brembos on the concept ensure fade free and face sucking braking. as an up rated version of the 2011 Buick Regal, the GS offers a six speed manual transmission and available all wheel drive, though if it's like the regular Regal, those last two features won't be offered together, the all wheel drive version being stuck with an automatic. Expected to soon be on sale in the U.S.

A close preview of the upcoming production car, the 2011 Buick Regal GS Concept is a 2.0 liter, turbocharged 255 horsepower sports sedan. The Buick Regal GS Concept is a case in point. Although GM must still feel the sting of rival Ford's dominance in the 2010 North American Car and Truck of the Year awards today, it's not without its own bag of tricks.

2010 Buick Enclave unibody

The Enclave is the largest unibody vehicle for sale anywhere in the world, at about an 1 inch (25 mm) longer than its Lambda siblings. It is often praised for its subsequently vast cargo space while maintaining the relatively dynamic nature of unibody construction over the conventional body-on-frame.

2010 Buick LaCrosse Second generation

Arriving as a 2010 model, the new Buick Lacrosse is built upon the mid-size Epsilon II platform, which is also the basis for the Opel Insignia and the 2010 Saab 9-5.


The design was based on 2008 Buick Invicta concept, and replaces both the Chinese and North American models. Buick states that the new LaCrosse will be "America's Lexus fighter".

With the new 2011 Regal and the coming demise of Lucerne, the LaCrosse is no longer seen as Buick's entry-level model, but as its premium sports sedan.

Production of North American models was moved from Oshawa to the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas. Delivery of 2010 year models was delayed a few weeks due to quality concerns.

Detroit 2010: AWD turbocharged Buick Regal GS



One of the eye catching displays over at GM is the Buick Regal GS. The Regal is basically the European Opel/Vauxhall Insignia rebadged as a Buick for the US and Chinese market (Buick is a highly regarded marque in China). This GS showcar features a potent performance package – 255 bhp/400 Nm 2.0-litre Ecotec turbo engine with power going to all wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and electronic LSD.


Acceleration from nought to 60 mph (96 km/h) is “less than six seconds”. The Vauxhall Insignia VXR, which has a 320 bhp 2.8-litre Ecotec V6 turbo does the same sprint in 5.8 seconds. The Regal GS features a lowered body and aggresive styling that mimics the VXR, except that it wears Buick’s signature “waterfall grille”. The show car wears 20-inch wheels.



That front HiPerStrut suspension helps reduce torque steer and maintain negative camber during cornering, improving grip and feel while isolating undesirable feedback. The GS features Brembo brakes with cross-drilled rotors, four-piston aluminum calipers and uprated pads. Interactive Drive Control System (IDCS) chassis technology allows the selection of three modes – normal, sport and GS – that change suspension settings, throttle response and steering sensitivity.


Inside, the Regal GS features a full black interior, sport shifter, a suede-covered, flat-bottom steering wheel and Recaro seats with four-way lumbar support and cushion extensions.
