Description: Time will tell if the Buick Reatta becomes a collectable classic, but from the looks of things it already has a decent following. When it was introduced in 1988 it came in coupe form, with the soft-to...Add Comments5
Dale SchroederJun 15, 2012 Pretty much every car ever made has it's own owner's club. The Morris Marina has an owner's club. Heck, the YUGO has an owner's club.
Brad WoodJun 14, 2012 It's not a "regatta". Unlike the other Buick's, this one is not a boat ;-)
Steven WhowhatJun 14, 2012 @Ben. yeah so do civic owners.
Ben BourdonJun 14, 2012 I think they made this meet up just so they would all feel better about owning a Regatta
Christian De PriscoJun 14, 2012 If this becomes a classic I will be king of scotland
Payton RingroseJun 14, 2012 looks like old rx7 meets k car in a weird fusion of metel and epicness
Brad WoodJun 14, 2012 My dad was a Buick dealer at the time. I was a kid, who loved the automobile and most of its forms. This car looked bad in the showroom, let alone 20 years later.
Ben NortonJun 14, 2012 I love these things! But would I ever buy one? No.
Stephen WicoffJun 14, 2012 These cars were and still are amazing. Yes, bland looking but the power from the engine proves otherwise.
Paul LissonaJun 14, 2012 American cars during that time were horrible.
Ben BourdonJun 14, 2012 I don't think it's fair for you to pity us when it sounds like you're alone with your understanding of why this car is so special.
Lou GuerreroJun 14, 2012 You guys just don't understand what this car means. Pity.
Hayden OsteraasJun 14, 2012 These are horrendously ugly cars from an era of car making that should just be forgotten.
Logan DelonyJun 14, 2012 Probably the most pointless meeting I've ever seen.
gammo66Jun 14, 2012 not only did someone actually buy this they then decided to meet other very strange people who did the same, police should of raided it & kept the weirdos away from the normal public
Brendon DavisJun 14, 2012 Ha ha.. My Dad should’ve gone to this.
Moe SargiJun 14, 2012 Burnn itttt!! Burnt it with liquid fire for the love of god This is ridiculous
Jerrod SwensonJun 14, 2012 I thought the Olds Totonado/Buick Riviera were first but it may as well be since they were basically the same car.
Lee CascioJun 14, 2012 The same reason any niche car is popular. You have to think what the rest of cars looked like in 91 they had nothing on this thing.
Paul TrahanJun 14, 2012 One of the first cars I can remember that had a touch screen dash.
Evan WolfeJun 14, 2012 Um... I really don't see why this car is popular
Description: The Reatta was also hand-built at the Reatta Craft Center in Lansing, Michigan. Power came from a Buick 3800 V6, with output rated at 165hp and 210lb-ft of torque, with 1991 models getting 170hp and 2...Add Comments6
Stephen WicoffJun 15, 2012 But that was the hp before gm refined the engine. My dad's 2000 buick has the same engine but with 210 horses and it's not supercharged.
Brad WoodJun 14, 2012 GM's 3.8L V6 produced 165HP. Boy, have we (thankfully) come a long way in performance. Is the Mustang V6 not double the HP, with better MPG, out of the same displacement? I can't wait to see what we have in 20 years from now.
Ryan KimmelJun 14, 2012 I dated a girl in high school that had a coup. Her dad had the soft top. Neat cars. May not be classics but oddly they were being collected.
Christian De PriscoJun 14, 2012 I think that time has thought us that technology becomes obsolete but great designs will never fade off.
So it had this touch screen whatever, even if it had a coffee machine dude the design is horrible...it will be crashed!
Paul TrahanJun 14, 2012 Yea it was pretty cool! Way ahead of it's time.
Sam OglesbyJun 14, 2012 Talk about jumping the gun it had a tablet pc to control the cars functions before tablet pcs were invented
Carlton SalmonJun 15, 2012 Anyone notice how bland all the colours are? Suits the car perfectly. And just look at the hundreds of eager enthusiasts filling up the place! This club meet has a sure fire hit on its hands!!
Ben NortonJun 14, 2012 They should have made these RWD with a turbo version kinda like the old regals. Woulda sold like hot cakes
Ben BourdonJun 14, 2012 Wow they got the red ones AND the white ones?? What an exotic meet!
