Legendary Reporter’s Bombshell Book on Trump P ortlAnd o bserver AutoReview 2018 Buick Regal GS The 2018 Buick Regal GS packs a lot of punch amid its place in the entry-level sport/luxury sedan market. With a base price of $40,030, the Regal has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque; a nine-speed automatic transmission; and all-wheel-drive. Fuel economy comes in at a respectable 19 mpg for the city, and 27 mph for the highway. The Regal GS was developed specifically for front-drive platforms. Handling balance is on- point. The GS stays even-keeled during even the feistiest lane-change maneuvers, with quick steer- ing and active dampers that can adjust every two milliseconds to properly soak up the bumps.
