Looks similar to the Velite concept of a few years ago.

BTW, this is hardly a "dieing" brand, especially not in China. If I'm not mistaken, it is the best-selling "luxury" brand in China, outselling Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, and the rest.

Sure looks like its seen some better years in the US. I know it sells great in China, i just hope that this car doen't end up like the new park avenue. America wants this.

Given the history of China and Japan, I would say it will be a cold day in hell before Lexus sells exceptionally well in China.

Wow that's a nice Buick concept. The US Market needs this. This would give the brand a more up date look with styling that may attract the younger buyer.

I agree it is a step in the right direction, but I am afraid maybe Buick has lost it here in the minds of US customers. So it makes sense to me that GM would focus its energies on the success of Buick in China. American Buick market is really all but dead and I won't be suprised if it goes the way of Olds here in the states. This concept looks good, but not for us here I am sure.

Here in the US we are embracing Micro-cars and in China they are doing the exact opposite.

I say screw GM. If they cannot bring the cars we want to us, but can give them to China, then they deserve every single loss they suffer to Toyota and Honda. Toyota, Honda, etc. give Americans what they want...cars with great options, high quality, and decent power. GM gives us POS cars with no power, noisy engines, no options and then sends the good stuff to China. Last time I checked the U.S. was still the largest market in the world for cars....seems like a market you might want to target.

Clearly you have not seen the Aveo. You should check it out, it has quality all over it.

BTW, that concept side profile looks sick.

I keep on looking at Domestic brands that are catering to the China market and I question myself: Why doesn't the US carry these products? They should at least market one of these in the Domestic Market to test the popularity of them. They are luxurious and look far more appealing than the ones here in North America.

The Buick's & Cadillac seem to be fitted with better quality parts. Another thing is the extended rear for potential chauffeuring use. It would be an alternative to seeing millions of Lincoln Limos around.

Look like a Lexus concept from the side, but very nice nevertheless.
