But I think this new Regal commercial is kinda funny. Plus faint turbo noise during certain parts.

The noises are fake....Although I do have one of these engines with a little more "oomph" swapped into my car, all you hear is turbo whistle, and its beautiful.

I know they're fake, but seeing that car and imagining it making that noise makes me a happy person.

The real noise would have made you happier.

This is the same engine, with more compression, a larger turbo,, no cats, no muffler, and a super high flow intake.

I...I...I'm having a crisis. I live for engines that sound like that.

It's more impressive in person... I need to get some shots of fly bys on it when it cracks....Sounds like a rifle going off.

And you can hear all turbo in the front, just the induction noise. On the rear there is a deep whine from the turbo, and then the deep tone to the exhaust. I love tunnels.....

New goal: Buy Regal GS AWD. Make it sound like that. Enjoy heated seats and wonderful noises at the same time.

I went to Buick's website and started speccing it out. I loved it more and more the more I read about it until I saw the price.

It does seem a bit pricey...

It is, but I'm always able to automatically subtract at least 5,000 off the price because my dad works for a GM supplier. Hooray employee discounts! But yeah, other than the price, it's a nice car all around.

If I remember correctly, it's possible to buy this as an all-wheel-drive manual turbocharged four-cylinder. If that's true, I can't believe this site isn't collectively changing pants twice daily at the thought of it, especially when you factor in the likely comfortable interior and not-terrible-looking dashboard.

AWD has to be autobox tragically. But it's actually a well sorted box with slap shift

Costs a bit of money to make that happen haha

My whole engine is upgraded over that, the block is still the Gen 3 LHU Ecotec though. Except mine is the European equivelent, and the H.O. one at that.

The US ones got the A20NHT, I have the A20NFT, the F makes all the difference.

That's a lot of work. But I bet the results are just wonderful.

Would be well worth it, I've always wanted a new Regal Turbo with the (shitty) six speed.

Swap all my upgrades to it, sell the Cobalt as a Shell, or whatever, and use the Regal as the Daily duty car.

That sounds like the idea of the century. I approve.
