Buick will introduce an entry-level CX for 2012 model year. However, starting in March/April, when the Regal first arrives, US customers will find the LaCrosse starting at $27,085 and the Regal at $26,995. Essentially, Buick will have two cars at the same price rather than tackling two different parts of the market to draw a larger variety of customers. As a side note, I don't have a problem with the Regal being an Insignia except for the fact that this makes it more difficult to understand the brand's design language... European or heavily Japan-influenced American exterior with Chinese interior?
Powered by a 2.4-liter Ecotec direct injected four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower (136 kW), the Regal CXL features a six-speed automatic transmission, StabiliTrak stability control, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, the car comes nicely equipped with leather upholstery, 12-way power adjustable heated front seats, Bluetooth connectivity, iPod and USB inputs, XM Satellite Radio, and OnStar.
The range-topping Regal CXL turbo will start at $29,495. It has the aforementioned equipment and a turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec direct injected engine with 220 horsepower (164 kW).
Options include a navigation system, a Harman Kardon sound system, an internal 1 GB flash drive, and an Interactive Drive Control System (with 19-inch wheels). The latter option is only available on the CXL turbo and offers "three operating modes that adjust suspension, steering, throttle, transmission, and stability systems to personalize the driving experience."
Look for the naturally-aspirated Regal to start arriving in dealerships this spring, while the turbocharged model will be launched later this summer. Eventually, Buick will introduce an entry-level Regal CX for the 2012 model year.
