I drove an n/a one in November, and hated it. The throttle was soft and spongey, and it just didn't feel like a well built car. I sure hope the turbo is much better, but I have my doubts...

Like I said, don't even bother with the non-turbo versions.

The Turbo version is a lot smoother and much more fun to drive.

I'd really like to see what the GS is gonna be like. That would probably be the only new Regal I'd ever buy..
