Buick China still has Tiger Woods? That picture of the GL8 looks terrible. It looks bug-eyed.

No, that photo is old, but the latest one GM has in the press gallery.

The Excelle looks cheap, no wonder they moved up the replacement.

It is pretty terrible, as it's just a warmed-over Terraza. The latest iteration is fantastic IMO. Well, as fantastic as a van can be.

Ya, I can tell from the interior shot that it's just a bug-eyed version of the piece of crapola SV6 my dad has. The upcoming one does look much much better. Hopefully it doesn't stray too far from the concept.

I agree...I really like the Business Concept...fresh, creative and elegant all at once.

The Park Avenue over in China looks like Buick's version of the CTS:









What a gorgeous car.
