Why was the 1987 Buick Regal such an Amazing Ride? Why Did Nobody Love It? Buick Regal was fantastic in the 1980s.

Years ago, when I was renting plenty of cars, at least once a week, I rented a Buick Regal.

I was surprised.

 

Buick Regal in the 1980s was an amazing ride.

Why did they kill it?

 

 

1987 GNX Regal looks great, and drives good.

 

I bought a Regal, and was not disappointed.

 

It was cheap, too.

 

Basically, it rides like a luxury car, though a bit smaller.

Still, it's plenty heavy enough to be comfortable.

 

All good things must come to an end.

 

But, then why?

Zhou En Lai loved Buicks, too.

There is an interesting history behind Zhou's love of Buicks.

Philosophically speaking, and the reason I submitted this Topic, is just mention that there is always a silver lining in every cloud.

 

Years ago, when the Cadillacs ran dry at the Naples, Florida Airport, I was downsized to a Buick Regal.

 

I had not been happy walking out the door with the keys in my hot little hand.

 

But, ... The rest is history.

After driving that first Regal, I became a believer.

I actually bought one, too.

 

After a few years, Buick completely ruined the Regal.

Buick was out of touch, again.

 

Maybe Buick Regal is better now, but I do not know.

I no longer rent automobiles.

 

Instead, I take Grab.

 

Safer for me.
