The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/IIHS/">IIHS</a>) just wrapped up its battery of batterings on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/regal">2011 Buick Regal</a>, and the results have netted "Good" ratings for front, side, rear and rollover impact protection. <br />
<br />
Additionally, the Regal is the seventh vehicle from <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a> to earn a Top Safety Pick award, which includes the aforementioned rollover test where the Regal excelled. Buick's Euro-born sedan was able to withstand almost five-times its weight - up from the federally-mandated standard of 1.5 times.<br />
<br />
The Regal joins its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick/">Buick</a> sibling, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lacrosse">LaCrosse</a>, along with the 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/5+series">BMW 5 Series</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus">Ford Taurus</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/genesis+sedan">Hyundai Genesis</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/avalon">Toyota Avalon</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/s80">Volvo S80</a> as a Top Safety Pick in the large car segment. Full press release after the break.<br />
