The Buick Regal Sportback was one of the sedans that impressed us the most this year thanks to its SUV-grade cargo hold, European road manners and compelling drivetrains. Our favourite is the Regal GS sport sedan, a car with serious performance credentials at an affordable price.

While the Regal is no doubt a great premium-value proposition, it still lacks the luxury aura it needs to be taken seriously by consumers cross-shopping European brands. For 2019, Buick will attempt to fix this with the introduction of the Regal Avenir, a trim level designed specifically to enhance the car’s level of luxury and comfort.

Buick already offers this package with the LaCrosse Avenir and Enclave Avenir, the latter being very popular and representing more than 30 per cent of Enclave sales in Canada. It’s only normal, then, for Buick to attempt the same strategy with the Regal.

Pricing hasn’t been announced for the package, which will include, among other things, a fancy new chrome grille, model-specific 19-inch pearled nickel wheels, an upscale interior, more comfortable leather seats and an updated infotainment system.

Based on current Avenir models, we expect the package will cost an extra $2,000 above a standard Regal Sportback, which kicks off at $32,000 before freight and destination.

No guaranteed spots on team's fantasy football league roster for Bombers vets

No guaranteed spots on team's fantasy football league roster for Bombers vets

Taylor Allen 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:54 PM CDT

Jamieson Sheahan recently earned a promotion — although it’s not one he was clamouring for.

The Australian is not only the team’s punter, but as of this season, he’s also the commissioner of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ NFL fantasy football league.

The league has been around for a while, with longtime defensive tackle Jake Thomas previously holding the position. But now that Thomas is on the coaching staff, a current player had to step up to the plate.

“A prestigious honour, maybe, but it was just de facto — no one else was gonna do it, so, it just fell to me,” Sheahan explained after Wednesday’s closed practice as the Bombers prepare to host the Toronto Argonauts on Friday.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My ex-mother-in-law and I ran into each other at a political do and had a great old time. I like her much better now than when I was married to her daughter. But she enjoyed mentioning that her daughter is now much happier in her new marriage to someone other than me. That’s rude, but I was actually happy to hear it.

Then she had the nerve to ask me if I felt better-suited to my new wife, and I said, “No, because she’s a lot like your daughter.” That was an awful thing for me to finally realize fully, and in front of my ex-mother-in-law.

Is it true people keep marrying the same type of person over and over again, and just keep trying to do better each time?
