The official word on the street is that Buick plans to reveal an all-new concept car soon, during the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show in China on April 20. After freshly revealing the 2014 Regal and LaCrosse in New York City, the brand seems to be beginning another product offensive, after being quiet during the latest Los Angeles, Detroit, and Chicago auto shows.
It’s no secret that Buick is immensely popular in China, selling 70,118 vehicles last month alone. By comparison, Buick sold 18,007 units in the United States in the same period — and that was a growth of 37.4 percent year over year. Additionally, the Shanghai Motor Show will grant huge exposure for the new concept car, as Shanghai currently stands as the most populated city in the world.
Anybody want to venture a guess as to what kind of vehicle the upcoming concept will be?

A flagship? Grand National?
V8 saloon possible, V8 coupe possible. My guess however is a 3dr Verano.
I expect a TT V6 sedan.
Buick will not get a V8 here and odds are slim in China.
If it is a Grand National people had better forget it being like the old car.
I suspect it will be more of a people mover than anything or the Opel 3 door hatch?
They already have a people carrier in china (its like a Chevy Venture/ Vauxhall Sintra) I doubt it will be another MPV / minivan, more like something they don't already have (which rules out any of their currant range & larger Holden based saloons in China) hence Verano 3dr.
I'm thinking a convertible based on Cascada. Perfect to unveil in Los Angeles in November. Alex, what's your hunch?
Lets hope it is something noteworthy and applicable across all buick markets including US...
I'm hoping for either the convertible or a 3 dr. hatch.
Neither the Astra/Verano 3 door or the Cascada a "concept cars", so if it is meant to be a concept car, i.e. just a demonstration of a concept, then it will be something completely different.
Also I've heard they don't like convertibles in China.
