Resting sedately in the middle of the lineup, overshadowed in 1988 by the introduction of the new Regal sport coupe, was one of Buick’s sleepers, the Century coupe. With a minimal fuss Buick designers effected a remarkable transformation of the stodgy Century into a contemporary family coupe. Most apparent was the Century’s new roofline, which curved gracefully into rear quarter panels that angle inward to full with tail-lamps. The once blunt nose now tapered away from a Regal like Chrome grille. The Century didn’t have the Regals flash interior and high dollar options like ABS and compact-disc player. But if offered with the new 160 horsepower 3300 V6 and the performance suspension package, the Century was without a doubt a much sweeter car to drive than the underpowered Regal.
