General Motors announced today that Buick’s next midsize sports sedan will be the Buick Regal.

“The transformation of Buick began with our luxury crossover, the Buick Enclave and continued this year with the launch of the 2010 LaCrosse premium sedan,” Susan Docherty, GM’s incoming U.S. sales vice president, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to announce that the Regal will be the next member of the Buick family.”

The vehicle is slated to come out in six months.

The North American Buick Regal was replaced in 2005 by the Buick LaCrosse, built using the same W platform. The final 2004 Buick Regal rolled off the assembly line on June 1, 2004. Now it would appear it'll be back and it' ll be the same as was launched in China in November 2008 based on the Opel Insignia.(SOURCE: JALOPNIK)
