91GranSport Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 Are the new W-Body replacements due to come out in '04 considered to be the Gen3 platform? If so, does anyone know what kind of powertrains they'll have? My '91 Regal GS needs a bit of bodywork, new paint, new struts/shocks, tires, exterior and interior trim pieces. I'm contemplating on whether I should buy a '00 Regal GS or repair my '91 and wait until the '04 comes out. Quote
Brian P Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 It SHOULD be 04 for the Regal, but the Impala/Monte is 2005 so I've heard. Are there even any pics of the next regal? Quote
91GranSport Posted November 10, 2002 Author Report Posted November 10, 2002 Apparently the original design was ditched because Bob Lutz, originally of Chrysler, said that the new Buick Regal looked terrible. Apparently it looked similar to the current Regal although it had portholes and a rather high trunklid. Also, it had a strange crease running through the entire side of the car, similar to the mid '90s Skylarks. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted November 11, 2002 Report Posted November 11, 2002 I'd have to agree with Lutz, I didn't like any of the pics I saw of the next gen Regal. Quote
