    I've been thinking about this for quite a while. Buick is a very desirable make in China. So much so that the new Riviera is designed for China.


    So, I have this theory: China is all old people. Yup. 1.4 billion old people. Sure, you have a few that buck the trend and hoon delivery trucks, build F1 cars out of scrap, and build their own helicopter, but it's all old people.


    The next article, about the bus driver running over the motorcyclist, probably while yelling, "Get off my street!" proves that I may be on to something.

    GM China Family to Showcase 37 Vehicles


    Psst, it's really the same 3 cars (Szechuan, Canton, and Mandarin) in 12-15 slightly different configurations each. Pass it on.

    Is there a more ironic thing to sell in China than a Family MPV?

    @Пессимиппопотaмус Паркингтониус: I know dozens of home-grown Chinese folk and not one of them lacks a sibling. I think they may have overstated the effectiveness of the one-child program. Either that or my acquaintances' parents got a bit grabby with some other peoples' kids...

    I think it looks great, and it would probably sell well in America, if they offered it here.


    Meanwhile the U.S. auto manufaturers have told me to pound sand while I wait for them to offer us vehicles as good as the vehicles they sell outside of the U.S.


    (letting out a sigh and pouring sand onto my desk)


    I commence pounding.

    Isn't China a funny place? There is so much that goes on there. Brothers who make F1 cars out of scrap. A man that tries to build his own helicopter. There are cars like the BS4 which have 0 out of 5 stars crash test ratings. There are extremely rich businessmen and very poor servants. But, the funniest thing of all about China? A Buick competing with an Audi.

    Well, the Buick Enclave is imported into China, right? My holidays in China with Chinese car mags tell me basically that they have insane import taxes which more or less rape buyers. But locally produced cars are actually pretty good value, expect this car to become ubiquitous amongst the entrepreneurs of the rising dragon.


    hehe... dragon...

    I'd rock most of these.


    The Fiesta's a great little car, I have no doubt. But look at that! It's definitely got the jet-airplane look going, and by that I mean "rounded, styled body and tiny little wheels". Argh.


    The Wave is the anti-Pontiac. Rubbish to drive, slow, and that's about all I have to say. Keep it as a Chevrolet, or perhaps sell it as a Saturn... but God, not a Pontiac. Oh, and fix the Cobalt-like fuel economy, too.


    The Peapod and iQ are bordering on so-small-they're-scary, but I can deal with that. They're kinda cute. As long as they're not utter mileage failures like the gas-powered Smart, they're not bad.


    I'd definitely take a Soul or Cube (preferably the Nissan, as I could then partially debadge it, then add a superscript 3 to the Nissan logo). Nissan³. I could get behind that.


    I sure wouldn't turn down the Cruze, either. If I had to drive a compact sedan, well, that's not a bad bet at all from the look of it, at least not with the 1.4T. The Volt, if I could afford one, should be quite nice as well.


    Anyway, outside of the G3 (which, being old and slow, is aptly named), this is Good News.

    Will there be a five-door Fiesta? If so, I'm all over that. It's been a while since I had a zippy roomy econobox and I'm ready to return to that happy place.

    The iQ's space issue is a topological puzzle. If you can solve it, you can get in.


    Space problem solved! Return to your tasks!

    @rlj676-new job, same problems: Sooper Doody vs Pee Pod and iQ in a battle to the death. According to the measurements above it should be a fair fight.

    The Fiesta is widely reported to be coming as a 3 door also. Check your sources as usual (again).
