Well it needs a name change for one principal reason: GM are moving to globally uniform names for their products. China is of course Buick's biggest market, and the Chinese LaCrosse isn't being replaced by the new Epsilon Buick, it's complementing it, occupying the slot of the just-discontinued Buick Regal. So as China gets a new model name, we'll get the new model name. If the car's anywhere near as stunning as the concept suggests, it'll be a strong enough product where nobody will care about the LaCrosse (sorry Hitman!).

I've always liked Allure though. It sounds classy. I love Invicta, but I sort of wish GM had kept it for a big Zeta Buick...
