24. Buick Regal GS
One of the cars that helped Buick re-emerge is the Regal. It is a family sedan Opel in Europe designed. Aside from the regular Regals with front-wheel drive, Buick produced the Regal GS. It is one of the best affordable performance sedans on the market. The GS comes with unassuming looks and compact dimensions, but it has a highly-capable powertrain. The Regal GS was the first true performance car in Buick’s lineup since the GNX in the mid-80s.
The secret of the Regal GS is its engine. It is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 270 HP. The power goes to all four wheels over an advanced AWD system. And the six-speed manual transmission makes driving fun and engaging. Due to compact dimensions and relatively light weights, the Regal GS can reach 60 mph in around six seconds. And since this is Buick, the interior is luxurious.
