19/09/2008 06:10. Despite being dead as a badge in the United States for four years
and dead as a duck in China for just as long, Buick plans to sell
the Opel Insignia as the Buick Regal in the People's Republic. While this news has
been on the street for about a month now , thanks to our friends at China Car Times , we've got the very first shots of Buick's new royalty. Hit the
jump for the full scoop of a story that'll make your grandparents
grab their canes, stand up and cheer.
Usually we're not advocates of badge-engineering, but these spy
photos of what absolutely appears to be a new Insignia (check out
that cut-line on the side of the car) rebadged as a Buick Regal for
the Chinese market... //
