Recorded on May 16, 2011 After a slight hiatus, the GM Authority Debate podcast is back! On this episode, Manoli and Alex discuss the Opel GTC hot hatch that may end up coming to American shores wearing the Buick badge. They try to understand whether such a vehicle would fit into the Buick lineup and, as usual, end up discussing GM's global lineup and branding efforts. Do you think the GTC should be a Buick in the States? That's what the comments are for below! Shownotes: Buick To Offer Hot Hatch And Compact Convertible?

Among other things, we try to figure out what vehicles the Excelle will compete with when it makes its way over to the United States later next year. As we've come to realize, the Excelle seems to not belong in the U.S. marketplace one single bit! Yeap, you read that right! Do you agree with our assessment?
