Is Velite on the way?

When the site finishes loading put your mouse where the hand is pointing to, above the big picture of the Rendezvous.

When you click on the Velite it comes up to a coloring page with the words "2006" and some language I dont understand. Could it say the 2006 Buick Velite?

Could this be a sign that the Velite is coming? Who knows.... :rolleyes:

Yes im bored... :o Edited January 2, 2006 by zoomtm

No offense Zoom But I doubt the announcement debut of the production Velite would be on a childrens coloring page for Taiwanese Buick site. That's just a guess.

I don't know what's going on! Yay!

That's a pretty agressive looking crossover/SUV that pops up in the lower-right corner upon loading of the page. It has a Velite-style grille and wears the Buick badge. What could it be?

Couldn't be a glimpse of the Enclave, could it? Here's a front view:

nice website... doesn't make Buick appear dowdy at all. If Buick's positive reputation in Asia continues, I would hope that it will eventually lead to Buick entering Europe. I noticed the SUV also... interesting. Maybe this is a hint that GM will eventually unify both Buick line-ups (America & Asia.)

Hmm that one looks like an Antara rear.

That One Looks Like Centieme meets Velite.

hmmm....this rear looks interesting....very interesting.

Oh man. If that is the Enclave. That would be one sweet vehicle. To bad we're seeing a really bad drawing of it.

Hmm, I think we may have found a VERY rough, cartoonish sketch of the Enclave. The front is obviously not going to be that aggressive and the wheels are way bigger than anything we'll see, but let's take a look at it a little closer.

Here's what AH-HA said about the Enclave:

Remember, if you like this:



You'll like the Enclave. Just add some side sweep spears and portholes with a Velite grille and more vertical headlamps. :AH-HA_wink:

There are definetly some sweeps on the side, it has a Velite grill, and while the headlights are not as vertical as the Velites, they are more vertical than the Centieme's.

Yeah I would guess it's the SGM Buick version of the Antara.

I hope so... :)

Is there anyone on this site that can read Chinese and see what this is about? Toni?

I really hope it's the Enclave, and not a an Asia only vehicle.

[Cananopie]

I think a lot of people are getting worked up over a Buick drawing. I mean if they were to draw just the Centieme to look like a fast vehicle it probably wouldn't look much different than that. It's extremely disproportionate with like 42 inch rims and approximately 3 feet of sitting space inside. I promise you that even if this was a representation of the Enclave it isn't even remotely close to what the real thing will look like.

Let's hope the success of the Enclave, and I think it will be successful, along with brisk sales of the Pontiac g-6 convertible will encourage GM to greenlight the Velite. With the Bengal a few years ago, and the Velite last year it's clear GM wants a convertible for Buick. They just have to pull the trigger.
