Vehicle Highlights
Buick's version was the first of the new midsize front-drive coupes introduced for 1988 and soon followed by the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Grand Prix. Regals came in Custom and costlier Limited trim. A Gran Sport option group featured Buick's Gran Touring suspension and 16-inch tires. All-disc brakes were standard; antilock braking optional on upper models. No airbag was available, but like other GM cars, front seatbelts could be left buckled to deploy automatically.
