Yeah, Buick of all things is putting out a turbo 6 speed manual when so many other makers are dropping manual transmissions except on base trims. Go figure.

Oh but these seats still look like they're from a 96 regal

Regal GS.

I'd consider it, if it wasn't $40k.

The Verano reminds me of the Cimmarron. Better execution but same concept.

those seats look heavy

They look REALLY comfy though.

Im trying to figure out who they are trying to sell to.

Americans who want an alternative to the Lexus IS, Acura TSX, Infiniti G25 would be my guess.

Yea but who buys a Buick? Old people (my grandfather). Do they really want a quick 6 speed? I know he sure doesnt.

I would say not even - I think this is just a more cushy acura ilx (the new civic based Acura), Lexus hs (corolla based).

Problem is they're trying to facelift their brand (or so it appears) bt they refuse to fully shake that image or even stray away from it. Case in point, the seats...versus a powerful engine and half decent performance. It just doesn't mesh too well. I'll admit the regal interior looks much better, but IMO cheaper looking than this one. I think the black seats above resemble the GLI'S
