GMI first uncovered news of a “Baby Enclave” in development way back in 2009. The new crossover has been the source of speculation ever since, with the name and other information slowly leaking out. Today, however, Buick has made it official: the Encore crossover will be joining the Buick lineup.
As GMI reported last week, the Encore will be revealed during the 2012 North American International Auto Show on January 10th. Instead of sticking with an entirely traditional product reveal, Buick will be slowly releasing sections of an Encore photograph on their Facebook page. The Facebook reveal will begin this week with a covered shot of the new crossover.
Buick states that the Encore will provide contemporary styling, Buick’s QuietTuning technology and all of the modern features expected from Buick. Stay tuned to GMI on the morning of January 10th for all of the details on the new Buick Encore.

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
Looks good. Just a tiny nitpick though, why couldn't that piece under the headlight be chrome?

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
Why does the headlight have a plastic piece under it? Also, nice Saturn Vue side mirrors.

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
Not sure how I feel about that bit of plastic trim. Otherwise I'm very hopeful, this should crush it for Buick.
That + the headlight shape does give it a Vueish vibe, doesn't it? Originally Posted by Envoy4Life

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
So far so good! I like the little Buick emblem in the headlamp cluster.

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
I think the black slats under the headlights blend well with the black mesh in the grill. Hope the whole thing looks good.....will consider this if I don't get another Enclave when the next gen. comes out.

Re: Officially Official: Encore Crossover Joining Buick Lineup
So, is this the Buick Vue? Those painted plastic pieces on the bumper look a lot like the Vue's old bumpers. Of course, we can't see much here. The headlights look like a modernization of the Rendevous' headlights (amber over white).

It looks like it is a Saturn Vue! With a waterfall grill that is. Originally Posted by Envoy4Life

I know what the poster is all about, just pointing how nonsensical the comment is. Originally Posted by MyImpalaSS
