Could be the next Grand National.

I threw up a little when I read the US is going to get a Chinese Built Buick next year. Buicks are going to be built in China and sold in the US. My grandfather must be rolling in his grave.

I think they are the most popular car brand there. At least the Camaro-based car will be built here.

That thing is ugly as sin, and it looks Chinese built, yuck.

I thought the cool thing is that it is rear wheel drive with a 400hp twin turbo v6. Better than calling a front drive four cylinder a GS.

I like headlights on cars and not those molded designs. China's economy is taking a dump so I wonder what that will do with the already questionable quality and price if it gets built.

with that design I wonder how many blind spots it has and the interior is ugly...

I've heard that before. I've also heard GM sold something like 2 or 3 times as many cars in China last year than in the US. With China's economy about to blow, GM is picking a hell of a time to move production of anything there. Just one more reason I would never buy a new GM. If I were to buy a new vehicle right now it would probably be a Made-in-Texas Toyota Tundra or Made-in-Kentucky Camry. Both have 75%+ domestic parts content.

Greetings Guys; Great example of beauty is in the eye of the beholder! It sure reminds me of the Holden Coupe60 (maybe the last) design of a few years back. I'm not much of a bett'in man but I'd bet that it was designed by the Holden group? As GM is only saving the design group after they close the plant next year (?) when the SS & Commodore finish their run down under. This would of made the perfect replacement for the Monaro & kept the plant open. Just dream'in, Bob Jr.
Ps: Generally I don't care for Buicks, but I did own one for 13 years. I believe that sheet metal (shape) won Daytona more than once?
