Take note that there is no badging on this Regal saying ” eAssist” or “hybrid” or some other obnoxious green lettering that only seems to be all too common these days.
That’s a good point. I wonder if that’s a good marketing move, though. It seems that everyone who makes a hybrid wants to brand it as such if not for the green street cred their brand will receive from the added nomenclature. Does Buick not want any of the butterfly-green goodness that goes along with a hybrid badge?
