Now That Buick Has The Japanese On The Run Will The New Regal GS Challenge The Germans?

At Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a sprawling US nature preserve tucked into the northwest tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, visitors strain to climb a famous 260-ft. (79-m) sand dune, a vestige of Michigan’s last Ice Age.

Their reward for scrambling up the 20-degree pitch is an unrivaled view of crystal lakes and rolling forests.
 

Buick completes a climb of its own with the new-for-’12 Regal GS, a rollicking sport sedan with a punchy 270-hp engine and drum-tight handling sure to make tonier competitors in the segment take notice.

Buick is indeed back.
