I drove a maroon & white one about 400 miles on the N.Y. Thruway in 1956. Smooth and powerful.

Buick was such an aspirational car back then! I have owned 6 Buicks, more than any other make.

Beautiful! Just goes to show how far Buick, and cars in general, have fallen.
Try going into a Buick dealership today and ordering anything like this!

Guys, please take a look at the 2019 Regal TourX. IMO, its a beaut of a Buick !!

I had a hard time believeing that I'd ever 'fall in love' with a Buick..but dayum, this one sure hit all the sweet spots !

My 2 issues with it were the stop/start engine which I was told cannot be over-ridden and the solid colored door panels. I think some different color combos would help to up-class the interior.

I would certainly MAKE SURE that there is someway, either semi-officially or otherwise, that that idiotic feature is disabled. Most likely I would have it permanently shut off in any way necessary.

I tried to, Steve, but my local dealer didn't have any and showed little interest in finding one. Then trusting Buick dealership service staff to take care of an Opel was an iffy proposition anyway.
They did have lots of their ugly CUVs, though! They tried to steer me into one of them instead of the neat wagon.
Once I read about the mandatory, non-defeatable start/stop feature, I lost interest.

Steve, my wife and I were out driving somewhere last week and one of those
TourX models drove by and stopped at the light next to us. I had not seen one before. Buick got that wagon RIGHT! What a sharp car.
If I was in the market for such a vehicle, I'd buy one. What a great design.

Rebirth of the American (well, actually Chinese) wagon?
