Looks like particular this 2012 Buick Verano — on display at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show — is a straight-up Chinese-market Buick Excelle GT.
The Buick Verano – known as the Excelle GT in the Chinese market – is certainly a vehicle that has piqued the interest of many a GM enthusiast. As such, it has prompted the GM Authority crew to deeply examine the possibilities of the Delta II-based sedan’s in the U.S. market and has even caused us to dedicate an entire episode of the GM Authority Debate podcast to the compact car.

The real question appears to be whether GM should, indeed, bring this hatchback to the States. There’s already an excellent discussion in the forum about this very topic – and we’d love to hear what you think. Make the jump for the new gallery of the Chinese-market Buick Excelle XT.
