"GS stands for &amp;quot;Grand Sport,&amp;quot; and the newest addition to Buick&amp;#039;s line earns this moniker with a high-output 2.0-liter turbocharged engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The GS&amp;#039;s estimated 255 bhp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque are expected to propel the car from standstill to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds.   The GS dohc inline-4 is direct-injected with variable valve timing of both intake and exhaust. One of GM&amp;#039;s Ecotech family, this engine will also be available in a Regal CXL model arriving later this year. However, the GS&amp;#039;s forced induction and intercooling are tuned for greater boost, with a larger 3-in.-diameter exhaust system augmenting this.   Interactive Drive Control is a standard GS feature giving a choice of Standard, Sport and GS steering and suspension settings. Its MacPherson strut front/4-link rear suspension also profits from Computer Damping Control giving automatic real-time tuning of the shock absorbers&amp;#039; firmness. Driver selection of CDC settings is part of IDC as well.   All-season P245/40R19 Goodyear Eagle RSAs are standard fitment for the GS. Optional are larger tires of summer high performance, P255/35ZR20 Pirelli P Zeros. Four-wheel discs are standard, with Brembo calipers fitted at the front.   Unveiled November 4 at a consumer event in Miami, the Regal GS doesn&amp;#039;t go on sale until the second half of 2011. Pricing has yet to be announced, though for an idea, consider the standard Regal CXL&amp;#039;s $26,995.   In assessing the cars&amp;#039; pronounced Opel Insignia heritage, one of our staff members said &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like the Buick Regals are all welcomed immigrants to the U.S. And the Regal GS is the most recent\u2014with the strongest German accent.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
