The GM Authority Take
The decline in Regal sales is the result of two primary factors:
- A depressed climate for sedans, as consumers gravitate towards crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) as a part of a market-wide shift in buying preferences, and
- The phase-out of the current, fifth-generation model in favor of the all-new, sixth-generation model, along with the associated repercussions on supporting operations such as marketing and vehicle inventory/availability at the retail level.
Buick revealed an all-new Regal earlier in April 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 shares 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 lands in a market thirsty for crossovers could hinder its sales potential.
