The GS is powered by a higher output version of the 2.0-liter direct-injected EcoTec four-cylinder that we’ve come to know and love in numerous GM products over the few years, with the tell-tale dual portholes on either side of its hood indicating its intentions. In this application, powertrain engineers have re-tuned the engine from its original 260 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque to 255 hp and 295 pound-feet. The GS is also equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox > > The front wheels are equipped with 14-inch cross-drilled rotors and four-pot mono-block calipers > > Using the latest edition of the Haldex-based torque vectoring system that served duty in the Saab Turbo-X, the Regal should be able to send power to the wheels that need it most and move the car in any direction the driver wants with ease. > > heavily bolstered Recaro thrones > > We expect it to arrive sometime in 2011 with a price tag somewhere in the mid- to upper-$30K range.

Kind of wish they went with the V6 turbo but this should at least change the stereotype of a Buick buyer ---

Ugh, why wouldnt they make the turbo 6 at least an option? So much potential there especially already having the platform. ---
