Buick and performance have only been synonymous a handful of times over the brand’s 110-year history, but General Motors’ entry-luxury brand is at it again.
Reshuffling its Regal lineup for 2014, Buick has created a Regal GS that actually loses some power but is, GM says, just as fast. Moreover, it’s also more fuel efficient than before. That’s an odd recipe for success, but Buick counters that with newly-available all-wheel-drive that should negate some of our complaints about the torque steer-happy outgoing Buick.
Oddly, the Regal GS remains available with a stick shift in addition to its optional six-speed automatic gearbox, but the three-pedal, row-it-yourself unit isn’t available with AWD.Â
