I spotted this car, but have no idea what is this. According to another article it says that it's a smaller car based on the styling of the Chinese LaCrosse (which is also sold in Taiwan).

I would say that is a Suzuki Forenza (a GMDAT product), with a snazzy Buick nose. Judging by the rear half of the car.

Here's another (tiny) pic:

Actually I was sort of thinking the same thing afterwards, judging by the 1.6L and the 1.8L. The Optra has the same engines worldwide.

Yup, definitely an Optra/Forenza.

The best part of that car is the Buick front end (which looks better than the NA Buick front ends, so far).

It looks like a unique variant of the Optra, combining the sedan body with a new nose more like the 5-door hatch. The mainland version is the Excelle, more like the standard Optra sedan. LIke the Excelle, the engines are probably Daewoo's version of the Family I 1.6 L (as used in the Aveo and Lacetti), and GM Holden's unique 1.8 L version of the Family II engine.

I wouldn't mind a front end like that on the updated LaCrosse for 08.

Old news.

Remember this picture?

Hmm... didn't spot that...

But yeah, from the tiny pic, it does seem to have white taillamps like the Chinese LaCrosse.
