Stupid Question, related to a FWD Regal? WTF?

[rIbBaD]

I have a stupid question, a local guy is selling a 1985 buick regal limited, but its front wheel drive? Does it share the same interior as the rwd buick regals? and why the hell is it front wheel drive?

That sounds like a somerset regal, I don't think it would really have anything of use for a rwd regal.

Just as there are FWD Bonnevilles, LeSabre's, 88's, etc. GM will milk a good nameplate to oblivion just to sucker buyers. Worst example was the new GTO. Allthough a very good car, purists vomited at the idea, GM rushed it, and it was overpriced. Gone.

They couldn't just let it die with its dignity when there was money to be made. I think I saw a pic of of 2011? regal that really wanted to make me puke, looks like some kind a of nissan or something.
