  • 2018 Opel Insignia Country Tourer spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Opel’s Insignia mid-sizer has just been redesigned. So far we’ve only seen the Grand Sport fastback sedan and Sports Tourer wagon. Also in the pipeline is a Country Tourer soft-roader, which has just been spied in prototype form. The Insignia Country Tourer is a rival to the Subaru Outback and more upscale Audi A4 Allroad and Volvo V60 Cross Country. We’re not expecting the vehicle in the United States, though its Grand Sport and Sports Tourer siblings will be here soon as Buick’s new Regal and Regal TourX, respectively. From the spy shots, we can see that the Country...

The latest Commodore, referred to internally as the NG, also previews Opel’s new Insignia Grand Sport which will be revealed soon and is due for a debut next March at the 2017 Geneva auto show.

  • Buick Velite concept, 2016 Guangzhou auto show

    Buick has released a single teaser shot for a new concept car debuting on November 18 at the 2016 Guangzhou auto show. The concept is called the Velite and its purpose is to mark the introduction of a new Buick Blue brand for electrified vehicles in China. Velite will be a familiar name to Buick fans. It was last used on a convertible concept Buick rolled out at the 2004 New York auto show, and in September rumors surfaced that Buick is planning to launch a version of the Chevrolet Volt in China wearing the Velite name.

    2017 Buick LaCrosse preview

    Buick's new LaCrosse may not be a BMW-rivaling sports sedan, but it boasts remarkably lithe and polished manners on a curvy road.

  • 2017 Opel Insignia spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Opel engineers are out testing a prototype for the next-generation Insignia sedan. Though destined to compete in the mid-size sedan segment, the new Insignia looks to be growing in size, so much so that it may rival some larger models. It also looks like the design team has adopted a sloping, coupe-like profile akin to the Audi A7. The Insignia is a crucial model for General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] as it’s not only sold in Europe but also in the United States and China where it's badged as a Buick Regal. The same will be true for this new model whose Buick counterpart has also been...

    It is safe to say that this 1952 Buick Super Riviera looked nothing like it does today when it rolled off the assembly line and made its way to its first owner.
