This is exactly what I thought before I even opened the thread just from the title.
I do disagree on the number suggestion, however.
If Buick is trying to change it's image and take the brand in a new direction, why would they continue to regurgitate old names?
I would initially associate Regal and Century with the crap they built in the 80's and 90's. Is that really the first thought they want people to have?

Yhe car looks nice and I'm sure there will be a version with a killer interior.

I like it a lot. I've been saying that Buick's 3 model lineup was lacking and this model rounds it out (for now) as the new base model.
I can't wait to see what they have in store for the next Lucerne as the current one just plain stinks.

Naming it a Regal is a huge mistake. The most recent Regals were failures and put to pasture for a reason. There is no positive correlation with the word "Regal" for anyone who has a recent memory. The first thing that came to mind when I read this headline was GM is still not getting over the past like they claim they are.
Name aside, the exterior is decent, if very Saturn and Volvoesque. The rear end could also pass as a new TL, but with the chrome strip higher up. The dash looks like it's melting upon itself. Not terrible, but not going to lead the class either.
Grade: "C"
