It's probably going to replace the current Buick Excelle, which is sold in Europe as the Chevrolet Lacetti, and in the US as the Suzuki Forenza. Talk about badge engineering:

Oh, and I found one more that will really blow your mind. This is sold in the US as a Suzuki Reno, built by Daewoo.
OK Guys, you know they badge various cars as Buicks in China, right? Here's samples:
@UDMan: Here some images of those cars:
You guys are all way too young. When I was in the scouts, (and my troop won a couple of the Northeast Jamborees) all of the leaders drove good old fashion Station Wagons! Remember those? It was quite a site in it's day.
Wow, there is an awful lot of questionable comments in this particular thread (my own on page one included). Come on guys, man up. Just because you think a guy is particularly good looking doesn't automatically make you gay, or even bi-sexual. It just means that you acknowledge that a man can be good looking, even…
@Jagvar: Forget hats for a moment, I just want plane passengers to at least try and dress in something other than t-shirts, ripped jeans, and flip-flops.
During the last Golden Age here in the states, there were hyper-exotic cars offered at that time, with classic nameplates from around the world: Duesenberg, Isotta-Fraschini, Hispano-Suiza, Marmon, Pierce Arrow, Cord, Auburn, Stutz, Packard, and many more, and they are now all dead, dead, dead! Even Bugatti died only…
Peter, as the new contributor, please don't use "Project Car Hell" without first praying to to alter of Murilee Martin. The fact that she (Yea, I know, this joke is getting really old) probably gave up her weekday gig so that the Jalop could infuse some Eastern Europe flavor of the month doesn't help your cause…
There isn't an exotic that I remotely like. They are all owned by self serving, egotistical, arrogant, a$$holes. It's a way to scream, I got money, and you don't. Most (and remember, I did say most) owners don't know how to drive them, or don't really know anything about them. So, if all the supercar makers imploded,…
Gives me a chance to re-introduce this posting. Enjoy:
Since Ray has already asked for money before (remember the posting about the Basement Countach?), I see that this could be a possibility again.
@yachius: Oh, and thatks for answering the question.... Here's a link to Innerpartysystems sight, with their video of this song.
Well, since I'm the one who sent it in (BTW, if you don't already know, my first name in Jim) I thought it was postworthy for a couple of reasons:
@Slantsick, with Infinite Improbability Drive: I would say probably an International....
@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: @nitroram33 misses PolaЯ: Well yea, good luck on any warranty work..... Also, good luck in any state that requires inspection, and emission testing every year or every other year. It seems to be a lot of work to re-install all that hardware, re-flash, inspect, then remove and…
I see that today is Jalop Truck Day so far......
It's is very difficult to try and get diesels to pass the new EPA 2010 emission regulations. Not only do you have to have a DPF, but you have to have an electronic EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculator), and a place to store a Urea tank. All of these components have electronic sensors, that run off the engine management…
@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: Good luck trying to remove the DPF. There are electronic sensors attached to the system, along with small fuel lines to help "keep the temperature up" when you have to do a manual regeneration. Here's an image of a DPF:
Isn't Hemmings a great blog site. I subscribe to each of their publications as well, Muscle Machines, Classic Car, Sports & Exotic, and their premier publication, Hemmings Motor News. The Sports & Exotic isn't really my favorite, but it might be almost any jalops favorite.
