But it will take more than a couple of good engines for Buick to make inroads into the competition. The sedan flows nicely from a low hood to high rear deck that slops slightly downward at the tail. Chrome is all but eliminated on the GS model giving the Regal an aggressive yet conservative stance. In this area the Regal feels more like the luxury GM cars of the recent past with well padded, soft front bucket seats. They are comfortable but do not have the same feel as the slightly firmer chairs found in the Accord and Camry.
Power controls make virtually any driving position possible.
The Regal seems to be on a par with its Japanese competition in producing a quiet cabin with less road and wind noise than in the previous edition. Buick has created a chassis isolation package to reduce road noise. Engine noise has been reduced through the use of a windshield seal and a body seal at the base of the A pillar. This car certainly offers a relaxing environment. Forget the soft, cushy feeling of traditional General Motors luxury cars.
