The GM Authority Take
As we anticipated, the vehicle’s sales volume remains substantially depressed following the first quarter of the year, a circumstance that we attribute to two primary reasons. First, the Regal is a sedan in a market that is showing a seemingly-limitless appetite for CUVs. Industry-wide, sedan sales are down roughly 25-30 percent, with crossovers and sport utilities being single-handedly responsible for the decrease.
And second, the current-generation Regal — now in its seventh year on the market — is beginning to show its age. Fortunately, Buick introduced an all-new Regal earlier this month at the New York Auto Show. The vehicle will be available in two body styles — a four-door, sedan-like liftback called the Regal Sportback and a ruggedized wagon called Regal TourX. The all-new Regal share the E2 platform, design, and most features with the 2017 Opel Insignia, 2018 Vauxhall Insignia, and 2018 Holden Commodore.

We expect the all-new Regal to generate higher interest from the marketplace, thereby resulting in sales volume gains. However, the fact that the Regal isn’t a crossover could put a damper the new model’s potential, as is the case with the new Buick LaCrosse.

Comment
Not being a sport utility hasn’t hurt Subaru much. The fact that the new Regal is AWD and will be offered in a turbo wagon body that looks rugged should gain this line some attention.
