These are some of the new print ads that General Motors will use to hype its all-new 2011 Buick Regal [a.k.a. the N.A. version of the European Opel Insignia] to U.S. buyers. The Detroit automaker agency has readied several messages, including one that says “Listen Closely and You May Detect a German Accent” and another one stating “We Didn’t Start With a Clay Model. We Started With the European Car of the Year” – both hinting at the Regal’s German roots.

“We want consumers to discover the 2011 Buick Regal as a compelling performance sedan,” said Craig Bierley, Buick advertising director. “We are presenting the Regal in a variety of ways that are unexpected and providing relevant personal stories to allow consumers to draw their own conclusions about our newest Buick.”

The full advertising campaign with TV spots and print ads in newspapers as well as weekly and monthly magazines, kicks off in July.
