I spotted a Regal on my way to work this morning, except I was in it.
My ‘93 “Gran Sport”

I see these often in Mid-Michigan. Every once in a while I even see a 6 speed for sale, and I would be VERY tempted if every single one for sale wasn’t a rebuilt/salvage title. Seriously. I’ve seen 3 or 4 of these in the last year for sale - every one was a salvage title.
A quick look at Craigslist:

Not the best example - but what the hell do people DO to these cars?

So it’s basically a grand national then, right?

Thanks! It’s an excellent daily driver and gets a surprising amount of attention. I just wanted something cheap and reliable that had some personality. I bought it from the original owner.

These actually exist? Really?

I’m just saying that if I buy a TourX, I’m not sure I could stand it being a Buick. I imagine I could rebadge the exterior as an Opel for not too much money, but I’m not sure about the steering wheel badge, I’m generally opposed to messing with stuff that contains an air bag.

The real hidden gem is a Verano turbo manual. Smaller than the Regal with the 2.0T.

I rarely see them, and weirdly I saw another one at the same intersection today, but on the crossing road from that picture. I assumed it was the same one, but checking the license plate confirmed that it was not.

I’d have no trouble rocking a Buick. The TourX is gorgeous.

It’s rather shallow of me, but I just feel like I’d need to be at least 30 years older to drive a Buick. If only they had a factory Opel option.

Not even close to a grand national. A 3800 series I isn't shit compared to a turbo 3.8 in a gn. A grand national is a muscle car, a 93 gran sport is a grandma mobile.

I have a 2013 regal gs. The reason people want them is because they are light and very moddable. Onc e all my add ons are done the car will be 440-450 hp out of a 2.0t. You ask why people want these, because they are sleepers. As it sits right now it's roughly 305 hp and 325 ft lbs of torque.

Chicago is my home town, but I live in Indianapolis now. You're photo was so clear that it was easy to make out the intersection along with the I-290 sign
