Since the latter model is basically a direct port of the Opel Insignia, its success may help General Motors decide whether or not to snag a fourth model from another overseas market. The likely candidate is this car, the next-gen Buick Excelle that is currently sold only in China. <\/p>\n<p>Recently snapped by spy photographers while undergoing testing with very little camouflage, the next-gen Excelle will adopt GM&#8217;s Delta II small car platform that also underpins the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/cruze\">Chevy Cruze<\/a> and Opel Astra. It&#8217;s more closely related to later, however, as previous generations have been not much more than rebadged Astras. Just because Buick could sell the Excelle in the U.S., however, doesn&#8217;t mean it should. Would the market really accept a Buick this small, especially when the Cruze is on sale across the street? Time will tell but you can let GM know what you think now in the comments.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\">Spy Shots: Next-gen Buick Excelle for China<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/buickexcelle.ld1.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/buickexcelle.ld2.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/buickexcelle.ld3.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/buickexcelle.ld4.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-next-gen-buick-excelle-for-china\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/buickexcelle.ld5.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Photos: KGP Photography]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/23\/spy-shots-next-gen-cruze-based-buick-excelle-for-china-snapped\/\">Spy Shots: Next-gen Buick Excelle for China snapped<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:33:00 EST.
