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?
Simply put ... Buick vs Cadillac is essentially classy vs flashy

Anyone who still thinks Buick builds old people cars are delusional and really need to go look at a Toyota dealership's lot.

I am excited for a new Buick...but the Impala spy pics are kind of overshadowing it.

GM land barges FTW.

Verano is not a rebadged Chevrolet.
Regal is not a rebadged Chevrolet.
LaCrosse is not a rebadged Chevrolet.
Encore is not a rebadged Chevrolet.
Enclave is not a rebadged Chevrolet.

Platform sharing =/= rebadging.

I think the Lucerne is the only "old person" car left in the Buick lineup and I believe 2011 is the last year for them. I'm 28 years old and I could see myself in most of Buick's cars today......especially the Regal GS.

So? Is the Insignia sold here in the states as anything else?

GM is a global company. Expect every new product to have some global counterpart. Including the 6th gen Camaro, particularly in Australia...

Well, yes, rebadged, as the Buick Regal

I thought it was kind of funny because you mentioned "platform sharing =/= rebadging"...
