That's great on the schedule scene. What we really want to know is who is introducing what?

Patience grasshopper.

[Duncan]

Three Chinese brands...any guesses as to whether any of them will have anything worth paying attention to yet?

[NOS2006]

Ehh, I'll guess not.

[carman21]

Hopefully something good will come out of this, obviously we will not be seeing anything dramatic(aka the new Buick Epsilon 2 sedan) at least from what I've heard.

Byd will have a RWD 350hp DOHC V8 sports sedan that will retail for $19,999. Or not.

[InvictaMan]

Disappointing that GM decided not to take the wraps off the new Buick. The Enclave was unwrapped, at least as a concept true to production, way before its arrival. I would have rather seen that than the Caddy BoRaX, of which I feel belongs in the Buick line-up as well named Invicta. A small Caddy CUV is watering down the brand.
