I told my mom that Buick is bringing over the Regal Sportback and TourX and she just asked, “Are you sure it’s not just a late April Fool’s Joke?”

Yes mom, we’re actually getting cool things for once. Also, I get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. Valium is not a pleasant drug.

I think calling that a Sportback might be a marketing mistake. It should just be the Ragal. Like the standard option. Or he’ll pull a BMW and call it a coupe.

The Buick Regal is very serious business and not to be joked about!

They should’ve given the last gen the 5-door instead. There was way too much overlap with the Malibu.

Probably deliberate to hitchhike some marketing with the A5 Sportback.

That makes sence when I hear Sportback I still think of the Lancer, but most people have probably forgotten they exist

Curious to see the pricing structure. That said I don’t think anyone will be able to topple Volvo’s current wagon lord that is the manual transmission v90.....

It got a hearty “not bad” from my wife.

Excellent point, I hadn’t realized that but in retrospect, yes.

The Regal was better though because Yuuurrruup.

It’s only manual in FWD diesel form, though, and only in specific markets.

Hhhhhrrrrnnnngnggggg I’d still take that even though it’s just a FWD D4...

In that case... Automatic, top trim level, all the options and awd please!

(I feel dirty writing that... I hope my Miata doesn’t see this)

Well, her varied automotive background has lent her some experience...first a 5-spd Accord, then a B-body Impala, then a 740 GLE, and now our Ody. Add that on to my car obsession and now she’s making automotive references when she teaches her piano students—I’m a proud son!

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. My mom still wants a B-body Roadmaster.

Ugh, different strokes for different folks I suppose. I just get lightheaded and sleepy—a feeling that I do not appreciate.
