What, exactly, will this new crossover look like? We’ll find out soon, as Buick is scheduled to unveil its new product plan later this week. From what we’ve heard, the compact CUV could wear the Encore nameplate and spokeswoman Dayna Hart confirmed on Tuesday that the small crossover will look like a baby version of the Buick Enclave.
It’s no secret that Buick is looking to decrease the median age of the Buick buyer (read: attract a younger audience) – and introducing a compact CUV is one way to accomplish that goal. Hopefully the vehicle will bring in more foot traffic to Buick showrooms in the near future.
The new crossover is rumored to be based on the Gamma II platform shared with the all-new Chevrolet Aveo. In fact, GM is already shipping equipment to the Orion assembly plant to being production of the all-new Chevy subcompact. More as it happens!

I don't think Chevy will have a subcompact SUV or MPV. The only Gamma II-based Chevys we know of so far is the Aveo wagon (5 seater) and sedan (5 seater). It looks like the U.S. will have to soldier on with just the Equinox, Traverse, and Tahoe/Suburban as its only people-movers... We'll see how this plays out!
Well, the tooling for the new Aveo was being shipped to the Orion plant as I wrote that. I think you're talking about this sentence - "In fact, GM is already shipping equipment to the Orion assembly plant to being production of the all-new Chevy subcompact."
That's the Aveo I was talking about. :)
Sorry about that - I could've been more clear.
