GM has released their new Buick version 2011 Regal CXL. It is a good-looking sedan with smart handling and a full-featured infotainment system. It’s a handsome ride that offers many of the tech features, but an odd cabin control scheme and uninspiring power train hamper our recommendation.

Features:
New Regal CXL comes from a 2.4L Ecotec direct-injected 4-cylinder making 182-hp while the CXL Turbo is powered by a 2.0L Ecotec turbocharged 4-cylinder making 220-hp. Both models will be offered with an automatic 6-speed transmission with Driver Shift Control.

Standard features on the well-equipped CXL include: full power accessories, leather upholstery, heated front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, OnStar, a power driver seat, foglamps, keyless entry, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated sideview mirrors, a trip computer, a tilt/telescoping steering column, a 60/40-split rear seatback, Bluetooth connectivity and a 7-speaker audio system with a CD/MP3 player, satellite radio and iPod/auxiliary audio jacks.
