From the June 1989 issue of Car and Driver.When the intercooled version of Buick's turbocharged Regal T-type hit the streets in 1986, we suddenly found ourselves in the strange position of being captivated by an obsolete mid-sized sedan. Old and crude, the potent T-type was nonetheless irresistible. Here was a car costing barely $15,000 that could run from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. A later version, the GNX, was quicker still.
Small bumps can be almost as irritating. Tar strips and misaligned pavement slabs pound through the suspension so brutally that you'd swear the tires were made of solid rubber. Fender clearance is also on the tight side; both the front and rear tires occasionally rub against the bodywork in normal driving. All in all, the old turbocharged Regals were infinitely more comfortable for relaxed cruising.
