DETROIT – Buick today confirmed the introduction of the 2013 Encore, an all-new, versatile five-passenger crossover set to debut at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Encore joins a rapidly expanding family of Buick vehicles that has recently seen the additions of the Verano compact luxury sedan, the Regal GS sport sedan, and fuel-efficient eAssist “light electrification” technology on both LaCrosse and Regal.

Encore will offer contemporary styling, signature QuietTuning technology, and a host of features and amenities customers expect from Buicks today. More details will be made available when Encore is revealed on Jan. 10.

This week, a new Encore tab on www.facebook.com/buick will feature a covered photograph of the vehicle. Each week leading up to the reveal, Buick will uncover a section of the photo. The final image will be revealed the same morning Encore takes the stage at the Cobo Center in Detroit.

Subscribed for updates.

Ditto.
Looks good. Buick has its BANG back!

I wish automakers would lay off the autoshow teasers & previews

Its ok DG, think Equinox, styled like a Buick. :D

A Buick version of the Equinox would be cool for sure.

Not Equinox-sized. This is Gamma-II.

HUH? So what the heck is it based on then?

It's really not a version of anything. I believe it's being co-developed alongside an Opel, but there isn't an existing vehicle it's based off of. It's not like how the Terrain and Equinox are based off each other.

Closest relative would be Sonic, but it's not a compact, it's a CUV. Think Nissan Rogue sized.

So, I guess the next question is ... will it fit in the back of an Enclave?

Not quite.

Probably be about the same size as an Opel Meriva.

:word: tired of it here too. :thumbsup:

Sweet, more cars for old people!

Err, well, just kidding, I'm not excited at all. What the hell is a "buick" anyways? Apart from "history", does it have any place when you already have a cadillac division? What's the point?
