I have here a Very Rare 1978 Buick Regal with the 4 spd. option and Hurst shifter. You can see the last item at the bottom of the second column of options on the original Build-Sheet as being M20-Tran 4spd FS. Unfortunately the original 3.8 litre v-6 motor and 4spd. trans were not intact, so I did the next best thing. The car now has a freshly rebuilt 3.8 litre straight six backed by a 5 spd. w/overdrive manual trans. The trans is from a late 70's Chevy Monza and has the rallye racing shift pattern which is the same as a column shift pattern with 4th and 5th added to the right. The car is a 2-owner, and was driven by the first owner for about 10 years and then luckily stored indoors. There body was completely solid, taken down to bare metal and repainted in laquer with 3 coats of clear which were all hand-sanded and buffed. The car has many modifications: 16" Z-28 wheels, power front buckets and console (in place of the bench seat), gauges and tach., am/fm CD, p/windows, p/remote locks, tinted glass, Turbo Regal steering wheel, t-roofs, half padded Landau roof w/factory trim, etc. The motor is a 1964 Pontiac Lemans 194 cu. in. bore out to 230. The head is ported and polished with hardened seats and 3 angle valve job, oversized exhaust manifold dual exhaust and 2-bbl carb. Everything on the car is either new or rebuilt and I have a box of receipts to support this. The car runs and drives and handles very nicely, has good acceleration and good fuel economy too. I have seen other G-Bodies with a factory stick, but I have yet to find even one Buick with this option.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
