2012 Buick Regal GS
60 Minutes is a phrase aging Buick buyers are surely familiar with. Six point seven seconds is most likely not. Get acquainted: That second figure is the zero-to-sixty time of the Regal GS — Buick’s first true performance car since the ’80s. At its heart is a strong (270hp), smart (32mpg highway), turbocharged 2-liter four, corralled via a six-speed standard transmission (yep, a Buick with a stick!). Brembo brakes add extra stopping power, and an adjustable suspension can firm up on the fly. Its slightly whiny engine note might not inspire lust, but consider this sport sedan an introduction to Buick for dudes who are more likely to stream an episode of Top Gear than tune in to Morley Safer.
