Buick Regal Overview
Links To Buick Regal Parts By Year
"Regal" - it seems like an overly ambitious name for a modest family sedan. But it makes more sense when you consider that the Buick Regal didn't get its start in the midsize sedan segment; the car was launched in 1973 as a lower-priced luxury coupe. Similar to the Century, these early rear-drive Regals went through a number of changes and variations, though the focus was typically on luxury and performance. In fact, the Buick Regal served as the basis for the Grand National, one of the most popular muscle cars from the 1980s, as well as the GNX, a limited-edition Grand National that is already considered a collectible classic. The Buick Regal that most people are familiar with, however, is the front-wheel-drive midsize sedan version introduced in 1988. With this model, the Regal was stripped of much of the performance potential that had made previous models such a thrill ride. Neither a V8 engine nor the potent turbocharged models were offered. Nearly a decade later, a supercharged V6 became available in the Regal, and Buick's marketers proclaimed the Regal the "car for the supercharged family." Unveiled in 1997, this iteration of the Buick Regal (available only as a sedan) enjoyed a reputation for overall competence. Its roomy interior made it a hit with those looking for capacious family transportation. Controls were intuitive and easy to use, and gauges were king-sized and easily read. Best of all, the Regal was available with a muscular supercharged V6, affording buyers the chance to get a sedan that was both sensible and enjoyable. In these years, the Buick Regal was offered in two trims. Base LS models offered standard features like keyless entry, full power accessories and a CD player. GS Supercharged models added a trip computer and leather upholstery. A third trim, the LSE, made an appearance for 2000, but this midlevel trim did not return for the 2001 model year. Options on Regals of this era included heated seats, OnStar and a power moonroof. Regal buyers had a couple of engines to choose from. LS models were powered by a 3.8-liter V6, while GS Supercharged models were, as the name suggests, powered by a supercharged version of the V6.
