RivNut Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Buick announced today that for 2018, the Regal will be the Regal Tour X. An all wheel drive vehicle to take on the likes of the BMW 3 Series wagon, the Volvo XC90, and the Audi A4. Turbocharged 2.0 liter four developing 250 hp backed by a 9 speed automatic transmission. Goggle Regal Tour X for more. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The Sportback is more like a later '70s "Aero" design GM intermediate/hatchback sedan. The TourX is ala Dodge Magnum "sport wagon" and only in the USA. Products were to be build by Opel, originally. The TourX has the best lines!

RivNut Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you read the article these will all be built overseas. The Regal is based on the Opel Insignia and will be built in Rueselheim, Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Maybe, and maybe not. The website that GM sent to me by e mail contains the adviso that the images are the pre production vehicle. So there may be some surprises yet to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll dispose of those off-road Jeep-inspired plastic wheel arches. Yech! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 For those that care, customized portholes are available in several variations. Usually sold in sets of three. First ones I saw were in WalMart. NTX5467 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're going more subtle with their customization and simply applied the double-sided tape so that each can gaze at the car and imagine in their minds the porthole variation that looks best to them... ...or they just got blown-off in the car wash.

MrEarl Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The second I saw that first picture in Ed's post above, it sort of reminded me of the 1973 Volvo sport wagon I've always admired. So i googled Volvo Wagon and here is what popped up Then I googled 2018 Regal and this is what popped up Not it sure what my point is, or even if there is one, just jabbering I guess. Or most likely it's that I'm spending too much time googling when there are real Buicks outside to be played with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
