Buick Excelle

A new compact from Buick based on Opel Astra. It should be available in the USA late next year.

I saw that the other day. I kind of like it . . . except for the rear spoiler and perhaps a little larger wheel tire package. Nothing too distictive about it, but relatively attractive in my opinion.

That looks pretty nice.

It should be a good seller now that the U.S. government has declared war on Toyota.

The rear lights on both of those look like an angry smiley.

I like the buick better... the rear doesn't seem near as tall as the Lancer.

And look what you did. You just compared to a Buick to a performance car. They are clearly doing something right

Me too. I always thought the Lancer's rear was made as a last minute deal or something.

It was dang time they did, don't you think?
