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

Patience grasshopper.

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

Ehh, I'll guess not.

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.

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.
