The new Regal sedan for 2011 features a smaller design based off Opel’s Insignia OPC currently built in Germany. That used to be Saturn’s deal…taking Opels. For now, Buick will get the European designs for GM.

Other sources state the Regal GS will retain all four doors, but have a larger, more powerful engine. Can Buick break 400hp? Not if they want to keep their 29-30 MPG highway rating. We also reported on a possible Buick Regal Wagon last month, but have yet to hear any further confirmation.

Stay tuned to check out full Buick coverage at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

No, we are not pulling your chain or jerkin’ your rod – the Lutz-man himself has spoken of a very-possible 335 horse power variant of the Buick Regal. This future whip will identify as Regal GS – there’s even talks of a Regal Wagon version too!

GM’s unveiling of the 2011 Buick Regal starred Bob Lutz, at a car-studded event in Hollywood, CA. He said one of the models being worked on is a “manual-transmission model and all-wheel drive, as well as a 335-hp, all-wheel-drive range-topper…”

It’s no Grand National like the old school Buicks, but it sure makes our hearts pitter-patter.
According to our fav auto experts at Car and Driver – “Such a variant makes perfect sense given that Opel sells a pretty hot Insignia OPC with a 325-hp turbocharged 2.8-lilter V-6, a six-speed manual, and all-wheel drive.” We will keep you posted – or maybe next year you’ll see Buickpedia-folk racing down the NJ Turnpike in a Regal Wagon.
