None of this news is surprising to me, except for possibly one of the items. If Buick is to succeed and go anywhere, they need to get with the times - no longer do luxury cars have to be large cars, and their chief targets, Acura and Lexus, not only have smaller cars, but are going even smaller, what with Acura discussing resurrecting the RSX and Lexus bringing the LF-Ch. Buick's GM revealed some future plans for Buick over the GM FastLane blog, via webchat.
So what's the news according to Docherty?
First off, there will be two Buick sedans produced for market, both smaller and lower-priced than the Lacrosse. One, according to reports, will be based off the Chevrolet Cruze, and the other will be a straight-up rebadging of the Opel Insignia. The Buick Regal name is a likely candidate for resurrection, but don't look for the Buick Century name to come back any time soon (thank God).
