    Remember that Buick Regal Wagon we told you about? The one that General Motors was highly considering in an effort to expand the Regal line here in the United States? You know, the one we spied lurking around the GM proving grounds?

    It's not going to happen.

    Inside Line got the word right from a Buick spokesperson's mouth: "Absolutely not... There is no Regal Wagon in our future plans."

    Still, even if the report is correct, that doesn't mean there won't be some expansion to the Regal portfolio. In addition to the recently launched eAssist and GS models, there's been a lot of talk about a two-door coupe version, and until we get a definite 'no' statement from the product folks within GM, we have no reason to doubt that it's in the cards. There's also the five-door liftback model that's already on sale overseas under different badges. Shame about that wagon, though.Buick Regal Wagon isn't going to happen originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:28:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

    Vista Window Dreamer, you are absolutely correct. If they don't make one, we can't buy one. Excuse me, but the station wagon was the American family's mainstay of transpo for what, 50 years?!! And now, they don't even consider putting one on the market. Give it a shot, for crying out loud. I know more than a few people that would buy one if they offered it.
    Such a shame Detroit is so afraid anymore to try, (or re-try) anything unless the bean counters say it's going to be, in their opinion, a sure fire hit.
    Well, quite frankly, their opinion sucks!!
