Soon <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick/">Buick</a> will have an entire lineup of competitive vehicles with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/enclave">Enclave</a>, all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lacrosse">LaCrosse</a> and soon-to-arrive-from-Europe <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/regal">Regal</a>. Since the latter model is basically a direct port of the Opel Insignia, its success may help General Motors decide whether or not to snag a fourth model from another overseas market. The likely candidate is this car, the next-gen Buick Excelle that is currently sold only in China. <br />
<br />
Recently snapped by spy photographers while undergoing testing with very little camouflage, the next-gen Excelle will adopt GM's Delta II small car platform that also underpins the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cruze">Chevy Cruze</a> and Opel Astra. It's more closely related to later, however, as previous generations have been not much more than rebadged Astras. Just because Buick could sell the Excelle in the U.S., however, doesn't mean it should. Would the market really accept a Buick this small, especially when the Cruze is on sale across the street? Time will tell but you can let GM know what you think now in the comments.<br />
