I'm pretty sure this issue has been discussed at length before, and I'll admit, I have probably read every piece of review/comparison/shootout media there is, but coming to a final conclusion is tough. I'm certainly on the fence between the GS and the Verano Turbo.
Both are (of course):
2.0L Turbo 4's with comparable performance #'s
Manual Trans
What I like about the Verano T:
Gas mileage (I drive 60 miles one way to work)
Rear styling
Price
Weight
What I like about the Regal GS:
HID Headlights
HiPer Strut suspension
Seats
Intellilink control (minor issue), on the middle of the console
All that being said, did any of you cross-shop these models and what did you think made you go one way or another? I'll say I'm leaning more toward Verano right now due to cost, gas mileage, and weight and giving up the features from the GS. (ie: my wallet will thank me later)
I've driven both as well and certainly enjoy both...but the Regal DID feel a little more sluggish (literally felt a little heavier).
