However, recent changes and improvements to the new Regal have brought these two outstanding vehicles to take aim at one another. The recent upgrades to the performance and equipment list make the 2015 Regal a strong competitor for almost any vehicle, not just the 2015 Ford Taurus.
Comparing the 2015 Buick Regal vs. 2015 Ford Taurus properly has to be done in a careful manner. For instance, by the simple nature of the 2015 Taurus being a physically larger vehicle, it is going to offer a bit more room than what the 2015 Regal has.
