There’s actually a manual, W-Body Buick Regal.

Kinja'd!!!

That’s 3 pedals right there.

Built in China, that is. It’s a 2003 model, the manual was sourced from Saab. Probably the 2.0L 4-cylinder as well. I’m thinking this is the very last W-Body to have a manual as well.

So, a Saab Turbo 5-Speed Buick? Sounds dope!

Edit: Its a GM Family II Ecotec derivative. Which means it s directly related to the legendary Opel C20XE and C20LET Turbo. Not too bad either.

They should’ve sold it over here

I HATE transverse V6's! On those, you have to undo the motor mou7nts to tilt the engine forward to get to the rear spark plugs

Pfft - it’s a breeze to change those rear plugs. You just have to do it from underneath! Put it up on your lift and go to it. Oh - you don’t have a lift? Well, if you can afford that big V6 you should be able to afford a lift. And a chauffeur. And a mansion with an 8-car garage. And a mechanic to do that shit for you.

Oh yeah - transverse V6s are the work of Satan. I understand why they do it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. The only thing worse would be a transverse V8. I had one vehicle with a transverse V6 and I absolutely hated working on it, especially when it used a combination of metric and SAE fasteners.  I only paid a dollar for the vehicle and I think I may have paid too much. Never. Again.
