Buick’s recent success in the United States has startled many industry observers and has come as a promising development for General Motors.
Out of the four remaining brands at the company, Buick has seen some of the biggest percentage sales increases. This off the back of three competitive models, the Enclave, LaCrosse and Regal. A small car dubbed Verano is on the way later this year.
Over in China though, Buick has been successful for years. Buick owes its existence to China, which likely will become the world’s largest auto market. With the Shanghai Motor Show under way, Buick is previewing a new generation of crossovers with the Envision Concept.
The concept was created as a joint effort between Shanghai GM and the company’s Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center. The Envision Concept takes Buick design cues and explores them in new and more dramatic ways. It shows off a more angular take on Buick’s waterfall grille and a more aggressive face than on production models. A unique element on this crossover is its greenhouse, which is uninterrupted by a pillar. The rear is dramatic, with a steeply raked window.

Here is that...

 

That is surely a concept car.. It looks great but it isn't likely to be produced and if so it is unlikely that it will make to the U.S. market... I'm still waiting for the Tata Nano.

 

hmm..my personal idea is TATA is still not a good manufacture for Cars.

 

The Nano is a crappy little turd of a car but so was the Subaru 360 that was being imported to the states by Malcolm Bricklin in the early 70s.. It was said to be unsafe but that has been said by a lot of people about the Fit and many other smaller cars in this country that is obsessed with huge land yachts and SUVs... India is moving ahead at a rapid pace right now and has even acquired right to produce Jaguars... I'm rooting for the underdog by wanting to see the Nano do well, it's a cool concept that could become popular.... The Buick would be nice to see on the streets here if it was to be built exactly like the concept car.. The thing is gorgeous.
