They do not offer a stick in the GS, which is the only Regal available with the V6. IIRC, you could get a stick in a 4 banger Regal when it was introduced, but the take rate was so low GM discontinued it. I would still consider a GS for a DD if I was in the market, 300+ HP, AWD, well equipped and good looking makes for a nice car. If the price was closer to the low 30s I would be all over one, but I do not think they are selling very well (I only found 1 within 100 mi) and that GM will kill this model soon.

I had an '87 GN, sold it 4yrs ago. Best thing about that car was easy and cheap to take it to 400hp (crank). Injectors, methanol kit, manual boost controller, 21 or so lbs of boost.

Honestly it depends on what I was looking for. I love the earlier GNs, (I had a turbo Regal) but would not want one as a DD. They were great cars in their day, but time marches on.
