<br />General Motors has unveiled China's new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/30/chinese-buick-regal-caught-dressed-in-red/">Buick Regal</a> (or at least official pics of it have found their way onto the web), and save for some cosmetic changes, it's basically a badge-engineered <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/17/officially-official-opel-insignia-revealed/">Opel Insignia</a>. That's by design though, as Buick is GM's top-selling brand in the land of the great wall, and the new mid-size sedan from Opel has the best chance for success donning a Buick logo. Comparing the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-insignia-2/757318/">Insignia</a> and the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138450/">Buick Regal</a> back to back shows that GM simply popped out the Opel grille, got rid of the lightning logo and retrofitted Buick badging for Buick-loving Chinese. The Opel Insignia is a head-turning sedan as it is, and after looking at these official Regal pics, it doesn't look half bad with a Buick grille, either. <br /><br />The new Regal is scheduled to hit Chinese showrooms in December will arrive with a choice of two powertrains: a 164-hp 2.4L four-cylinder engine and 211-hp 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, both of which come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. The naturally aspirated four-banger has a leisurely 0-60 time of 9.8 seconds, while the turbo motor scoots to 60 in 7.8 seconds.<br /><br />We've been hoping for our own U.S. version of the new Insignia, and recent news of GM product delays could push the next-gen Saturn Aura even further into the future. Meanwhile, China gets a Buick version this year <em>and</em> the new Chevy Cruze, which we may not receive until 2011.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/">Chinese Buick Regal Unveiled</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138450/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/1buick-regal-china-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138451/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/1buick-regal-china-5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138449/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/1buick-regal-china-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138448/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/1buick-regal-china-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/chinese-buick-regal-unveiled/1138455/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/1buick-regal-china-9_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-buick-regal-opel-insignia-based.html">CarScoop</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/05/chinas-insignia-based-buick-regal-revealed/">China's Insignia-based Buick Regal revealed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 05 Nov 2008 11:28:00 EST.
