This is the new small Buick from China:

Looks... exactly how you'd expect it to look. Maybe I'm getting Buick over-load?

 

As I stated before, I really like it.

 

I agree with both of the first two posts. It is a predictable looking buick, but I really like it too. I wonder how much more it will cost than the Cruze and what kind of upgrades you get for the money.

 

How NOT to do a "small premium" car



How TO to do a "small premium" car



or...



I'm not a Lexus nut-hugger...I couldn't be farther from it...but they've been making what I wish Buick would've came out with, a nicely styled small premium car, not a rebadge of a civic (although Lexus does have those in Canada)

 

Color me skeptical.

 

Not much to look at, is it?

 

What?

 

I am not impressed. This is not a road the 'New Class of World Class' Buick should have gone down.

The new Regal is already starting at $26 and change. I don't think GM's mid-Lux should go much under this without getting into Chevy territory.

 

Really? I think the Buick looks worlds better than that first lexus pictured and is at the least on par with if not better looking than the second one... with the exception of wheel design.

 

My bad, I was confusing 2 very bland asian companies...Acura has the rebadge of the Civic...Toyota has the rebadge of the Prius

 

The first Lexus may look a little dated now that the new Lexus has been around for a while but there is no way I could say that the Cruze Clone even comes close to either of those cars....I hope they sell a bunch of em' for GM's sake but I think this is a mis-step after many steps in the right direction.

 

Gotcha. I thought maybe there was some weird badge swaps like the Toyota Cavalier.

 

I'm not sure I'd call the Lexus a small car in the same sense the Buick is. Plus the Lexus is $30k. Think more along the lines on Mini cooper, Volvo C30, Acura insert 3 letters

Either way I don't think this Buick is right for the USA and I don't want to see it here. Regal is small and fuel efficient enough for a base Buick. Anything smaller needs to be quirky and unique like the mini cooper.

 

Buick Corolla

 

Damn....I glazed over this thread topic and thought I read small BLOCK, not small Buick!

I need more GenV details!!!
