tell that to BMW...the front end on all their cars looks the same....and has for years.
I think the exterior and interior are HUGE improvements. Even using the Regal name is a smart move -- its recongnized by the older crowd and the new hot design will attract new buyers

Uhh, I'm talking about the current GS, which, if I'm not mistaken, Giugiaro had nothing to do with.
The new Regal doesn't really look much like the 1st gen Giugiaro designed GS, however the original GS does have some family resemblance to a Giugiaro designed Daewoo (doh!) which was penned around the same time.

I was just reading in the latest Road and Track magazine that a version of the Regal was supposed to also be the next Saturn Aura until Saturn got cancelled. They liked its firm, Euro-chassis compared to previous Buicks.
I don't have any specific Regal review requests, but plan to take a look at the car myself just out of curiosity. I may or may not do a write-up, depending on the interest level.

I just hope the Regal GS doesn't sticker for much more than $31K...once you cross that barrier it's into 3-Series/G37 territory, and Buick isn't quite there yet, even if the Regal GS has good acceleration (doubt it will be as dynamically competent or overwell "nicely balanced" as the 3 or G37).
