Exterior

While the Regal's styling is definitely understated, the sedan has clean lines and a nice stance. The rear-quarter view is one of its best angles, and the car has one of the most stylish trunklids around.

The Regal comes standard with 18-inch aluminum wheels, but 19-inch rims are available. Only one trim level — the upscale CXL — will be offered to start, with more trims added for the 2012 model year.
