2011 Buick Regal

North American production of the all-new 2011 Buick Regal has been confirmed for GM’s Oshawa assembly plant beginning in the first quarter of 2011.

First sales of the Regal, however, will start in the second quarter of 2010. That’s because the first batch of cars will be imported from the Opel plant in Russelsheim, Germany.

The Buick Regal will join the Chevrolet Camaro and Equinox and the GMC Terrain as the third new vehicle in the production commitment as part of an agreement with the Canadian and Ontario Governments.

North American-spec models will initially be offered in premium CXL trim only, with additional trim levels to be offered in the 2012 model year. The standard powertrain option will be a 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque 2.4-liter direct-injected four-cylinder mill but a more potent 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected unit is due late next summer.

    anyone know why none of the workers seem to have canadian accents when they talk on documentaries at the oshawa plant? just curious if folks from oshawa or locals near toronto don't typically have thick canadian accents.

    having grown up in Toronto, Canadian accents were not the norm. It seems it became a popular thing for Canadian pride. It is easy to turn off in any case.

    The workers were being polite and making sure Americans didn't have to read subtitles.

    Pretty soon they are going to import the "US" car plants to India and China.

    How about a Zeta based Buick built there since it builds the Camaro
