After years of speculation about the return of the Buick Regal Grand National line, our sources tell us that General Motors has decided to bring back the coveted nameplate. GM’s filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office solidify the claims. At this point, many of the details related to the vehicles are unknown, such as what body style the vehicles will be available in. However, initial sources tell us that GM is working on a two-door coupe Regal Grand National as well as a four-door sedan for the (non Grand National) Regal line. What A Regal Grand National and high-performance Regal GNX sport-luxury coupe based on GM’s highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture shared with the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. The Regal GN and GNX coupes will be joined by the Regal sedan. Why It has been reported that General Motors has recognized market demand for a sport-luxury vehicle from Buick. The Buick Regal, which is effectively a rebadged Opel-Vauxhall Insignia based on GM’s front-drive Epsilon II vehicle architecture, was rumored to not be meeting GM’s sales volume expectations. So to serve the market better, GM might have decided to try a different approach with the rear-drive Alpha-based Regal sedan and Regal Grand National coupe. When We expect the Regal Grand National to return for the 2017 model year vehicle, with market availability in late 2016. The high-performance Regal GNX should follow shortly thereafter.
