It’s not surprising, considering the sale of sedans have dropped for two years in a row, while have accounted for roughly two-thirds of Buicks sales in 2016 alone. We also saw this coming after Buick showed off the not that long ago.

So, what kind of design is Buick actually going with? Well, don’t hold your breath for anything special because is all about badge-engineering these days and the 2018 Regal is going to be no exception. Need a hint? How about the name ? Need another hint? How about Insignia? That’s right; the next-gen Regal is likely to be nearly identical to the and the wagon that debuted at the just this month.

There has been no comment from Buick about this development, however, rumor has it that the new Regal will be built in Opel’s Ruesselsheim factory in Germany and imported into the U.S. On the plus side, if the Buick really is going the five-door route with the Regal, it will be the brand’s first official since the Buick Century and Buick Roadmaster of the 1990s.
