GM Teases New 2012 Buick Verano Compact Sedan

We've already seen a preview of the upcoming Cruze-based compact Buick sedan in the form of the Chinese-market Excelle GT, but today we finally have confirmation of the U.S. market car’s name and the location where it will be built. The new compact sedan is the 2012 Buick Verano, depicted here partially in this latest teaser.

General Motors will invest $145 million at its Orion assembly plant in Michigan to prepare for production of the Verano, which is scheduled to start in the middle of next year. The investment will retain 1,550 hourly and salaried jobs at Orion, along with 120 jobs at a Pontiac supplier, and is part of a greater $600 million investment to build other small cars locally.

As for the new Buick Verano, the car rides on GM’s Delta II architecture, which in addition to the Chevrolet Cruze, also underpins the Opel Astra, Chevrolet Volt and now this new Buick as well. Engine options should mirror those of the Cruze, which means a range of compact four-cylinder units in both naturally-aspirated and turbocharged forms.

The other benefit of the Delta II platform is the possibility of a plug-in hybrid version using Volt technology, although GM is more likely to use other brands such as Cadillac to expand its plug-in hybrid offerings.

Don’t hold your breath for the new Buick as it isn’t expected to be launched until late next year or possibly in early 2012. The good news is that Buick is also planning a compact crossover model, which will also be built at the Orion plant and share its platform with the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Aveo.

Pensato subito anch'io al cimitero.

Comunque dovrebbe essere "estate" in spagnolo se non ricordo male.

si si vuol dire estate , ma mi fa ridere lo stesso

Ma che è quel finto sfogo d'aria cromato appiccicato sul cofano?

Fa tanto tamarrata adesiva da cestone del supermercato.

questo frontale è osceno

E`l'equivalente del quadrifoglio sulle Alfa QV, tutte le Buick lo hanno da 70 anni:

Non sono finti, magari non servono a molto ma ci sono anche sulle altre e sull'ultima Regal GS concept, o meglio le hanno proprio aggiunte apposte perchè l'Insignia non le ha.

me pare una delta...
