General Motors announced today that the 2011 Buick Regal will be build at its Oshawa, Ontario, plant starting in the first quarter of 2011. Also starting production there at that time will be the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro convertible; Oshawa already builds the hardtop Camaro.

All 2011 Regals sold in the 2010 calendar year, though, will be built in Germany — where the Opel Insignia is built. The base Regal, with the 182-horsepower, 2.4-liter inline-4, goes on sale in the United States in the second quarter of 2010. The better Buick Regal, with the 220-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four, will reach U.S. dealers in the third quarter of 2010.
