The 2011 Buick Regal: it won’t be long before my wife makes me buy her one.

My wife Patricia truly loves her 2002 Buick Regal. She doesn’t like city driving much though. We have a far commute from our home to St. Louis each day for work. She’s got a lead foot. She’s always talking about the fact that some jerk tried to cut her off but she stepped on the gas and her Regal left him standing. She has the 3.8 Liter V-6 which is great on gas and really scoots when you need it to. I like it because of its legendary reliability. She drives through some neighborhoods that aren’t the best on the way to work but, I always feel safe with her in the Regal. It’s never let us down.

I haven’t heard her say anything negative about her Regal… I think it’s the best car she’s ever driven but, the first time she saw the all-new 2011 Regal on TV she said, “That’s my next car… you can bet on it.” Patricia has an eye for European style, (she taught art at Southern Illinois University and has taken students on many educational tours of Europe) and maybe that’s why she is so drawn to the all-new 2011 Regal. It is truly a work of art on wheels.

Regal has the refined aerodynamics you’d expect of a performance car. It’s the five-passenger sport sedan with the look of a coupe. The wide track and long wheelbase give Regal a planted road stance. Regal CXL’s 2.4 liter 182-hp ECOTEC engine is a technological marvel that produces the power of a V-6 from only four cylinders. Dual overhead cams, variable valve timing and direct fuel injection deliver the optimal balance of low-end torque and high-end horsepower. This ingenious engineering produces enhanced performance while offering the impressive fuel efficiency of 20 City/30 Hwy MPG. The electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission features driver shift control for a “hands-on” experience without having to use a clutch.

When you encounter a tight curve, Regal stays exactly where you place it, carving a precise line through the turn’s arc. The Interactive Drive Control System offers two selectable modes that adjust suspension, steering, throttle, transmission and stability systems in real time to personalize your driving experience. It continuously adjusts handling, while four-channel anti-lock braking, traction control and StabiliTrak stability control speak to each other to optimize Regal’s response to every inch of the road.

Regal is all about making the most of your drive. It has an available voice-activated navigation system with multi-function controller that helps keep you clearly focused on the road. You tell the NAV system where you want to go, it tells you how to get there. You’ll find a hard drive packing 40GB of navigational power and music storing capacity for thousands of your favorite tunes. Like your home DVR, you can even pause and replay live radio. There’s also a USB port to connect your iPod.® and again, to keep your eyes on the road, hands-free calling is yours with Bluetooth® connectivity.

You’ll hear the term world-class used a lot when referring to the all-new 2011 Buick Regal. You could pay tens of thousands more and not get a better car. Well, now you’re going to hear me use it in reference to the place to drive one. You don’t have to go to Paris, France to get world-class service. It’s just around the corner at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri.

How can I be bold enough to call Marquitz world class?

In business, the term world-class refers to having the highest possible standards of customer service and striving to exceed those standards every day. That’s the kind of team you will find at Marquitz. Each and every Marquitz associate is dedicated to making sure you have the finest purchase and ownership experience possible. That begins with taking the time to find out what your needs are, and striving to match you with the vehicle that fulfills all of them.

Everyone on the Marquitz team from sales associate to service adviser will treat you like a friend and neighbor each and every time. They understand that it will take courtesy and respect to make you a return customer… and its return customers that ultimately keep anyone in business. When you get down to the numbers, no one will work harder to get you more for your trade-in and get down to a payment that works for you. Kind of ironic that it takes a “down home” approach to be “world-class” wouldn’t you say?

Stop by and see the all-new 2011 Buick Regal at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Mo. After all, “Wouldn’t You Really Rather Have a Buick?”
