At least the new regal is up to 255 HP. Probably can't get the more powerful Opel or Holden engines here because of emissions. I was at a Buick dealer almost a year ago looking at the 2011 Buick Regal. I asked what engine was in it. The salesman said a 182 HP 4cyl. I laughed and said you got to be kidding. My 98 Regal has a 240 HP supercharged V6. The salesman looked like a ghost and then said they're going for fuel economy. The sad thing is, my old Regal probably gets better realistic fuel mileage than the new 4cyl Regal. I know my 2010 Malibu gets worse fuel mileage and throttle response is terrible. I curse at it everyday, but I don't have to work on it so I deal for now.
