2011 Buick Regal: Up Close

Another new Buick sedan, the 2011 Regal, was unveiled at the L.A. Auto Show, just months after the similarly sized LaCrosse hit the road. That didn’t stop me from being impressed with the new Regal’s design after seeing it in person. While it’s definitely understated, the car has clean lines and a nice stance. The rear-quarter view is one of its best angles.

The cabin features premium materials, but the central control area of the CXL model I sat in looked a little busy thanks to its multitude of buttons. The optional navigation system might have contributed to this a little, but the logic to the layout isn’t immediately apparent like it is with other automakers’ systems.

While poking around the cabin I noticed a small knob behind the gear selector that was mildly alarming. Had Buick succumbed to the ways of BMW and added its own iDrive-like control system? Thankfully, the knob isn’t there to replace all other buttons; it’s meant to zoom navigation maps and tune in radio stations. Another knob on the dash does the same thing, too. I was surprised by the roominess of the Regal’s backseat. Even with the driver’s seat adjusted to a comfortable position for my just over 6-foot frame, my knees didn’t touch the seatback when I sat in the second row. However, thigh support wasn’t great. With the front seat moved forward a little for a slightly shorter driver, the rear bench seat became even more accommodating.

The Regal has a sizable trunk that measures 14.3 cubic feet; its wide opening should make it easy to load and unload cargo. There’s also a large opening between the trunk and cabin when the split backseat is folded.

I can understand Buick wanting to round out its lineup and become more of a full-line brand, but I think it’s going to have a tough time getting entry-level luxury-car buyers to consider the Regal, nice car that it is. I’m just not convinced people who are shopping in this segment are tuned in to Buick.
