What's next?

Is it simply the NG LaCrosse?

Is this RWD Flagship Sedan going to come to fruition?

I've heard it's a undetermined Zeta variation...either the last of this gen intro'ed (think '11 model year) or, a possible rebadge of an overseas variant, which would get here sooner.

EpII LaCrosse replacement will be here sooner in the former plan, later in the latter.

The LaCrosse is next. I doubt they will import something, as it would be very similar to the G8.

Well, I guess the renaissance of the brand is going to take more time than I thought.

I thought in the last video "leak", the refreshed LaCrosse was seen as well?

Well, a new grille and engine option isn't what I had in mind... I'm talking about new product.

Better question is when?

Are they revamping one division at a time?

1st Cadillac

2nd Saturn

3rd Pontiac

4th Buick?

Since when was Pontiac revamped? They're barely holding together with scraps from other divisions. But anyway, Buick will get the Epsilon 2 Lacrosse in 2 years and the Zeta Lucerne a year later or so.

Well, they're revamping it... they have the Solstice which is very hot, and the G6 is selling well (by the numbers I see on the road anyways).

They get a RWD Pontiac (G8)

As a matter of fact... a friend of mine, who was born and bred to buy Asian, took one look at the Solstice, G6 Convertible and even the G5 (she is considering a smaller car this time around), and said, "Wow, these are Pontiacs? I like them!"

Well, reality is ther Buick will never have a 'full line' like they used to. And thats a good thing. They do not need to offer every car Chevy sells, no Buick badged Aveos, Cobalts, or even Silverados!

Some here miss the old A, J, and N bodied Buicks, but they dont compare to the real ones built before the 80's. Better to offer a few real good cars/crossovers, then rebadged whatever all the other brands offer.

I agree, but I think Buick should offer more models to combat imports (without overlap), or at least more than just LaCrosse, Lucerne, and Enclave.

Well, a new grille and engine option isn't what I had in mind... I'm talking about new product.

What if it has the Chinese Lacrosse interior too?!

I think it will go Enclave, EP Lacrosse, RWD halo (maybe sedan maybe not). And that is all I can think of so far.

Buick barely survives as an independent brand. Here in Cherry Hill, the decades-old and classy franchise of Eckenhoff Buick closed up, and Buicks appeared shortly later at the Burns Pontiac/GMC dealership about six miles away. Buick is a partial brand, to be marketed together with another partial brand, Pontiac, and together the two brands will cover the gamut.

I don't expect much more than a three-Buick line going forward. A medium and large sedan, and a crossover. What would be at least partial balm would be a return to the Buick tradition of a personal luxury coupe. Build the Velite! It still looks hotter than any concept I've seen since, including the Camaro.
