Buick Regal

The Buick Regal was a mid-sized automobile produced by Buick in the United States between the 1973 and 2004 model years. During this period, Buick also used the Century name on mid-size models and the two frequently shared bodies and powertrains.

Regal flees abroad

All Buick Regal's were assembled in Oshawa, Ontario Canada. The Regal was the fourth model chosen to be assembled in China by Shanghai GM, beginning on December 26, 2002, after the Century, GL8 minivan, and Sail. It has generated considerable sales in that market as a large, relatively luxurious model, despite being more expensive than the US version. It replaced the Century in Buick's Chinese lineup and has slightly different frontal sheetmetal from the US models. Engine choices are also very different: a 2.0L four-cylinder and a 2.5 V6 power the Chinese Regal.

The domestic car was less fortunate and was replaced in 2005 by the Buick LaCrosse, although the LaCrosse still uses the W-body platform. The final 2004 Buick Regal rolled off the assembly line on June 1, 2004.
