mettech Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 "...Here is the official word from Shanghai: "SHANGHAI (AP) — General Motors said Tuesday that sales in China soared 50 percent in April to a monthly record of 151,084 vehicles, thanks to strong demand for Buick brand cars and Wuling minivehicles. Sales of the Buick Excelle sedan, a staple in GM’s Shanghai-produced portfolio, more than doubled from a year ago to 22,078, the company said in a statement..."

jpd80 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Buick Excelle sedan is a repackaged Daewoo Lancetti/Chevrolet Cruze. The rest of the production is mostly the SAIC-GM-Wuling Minivan. What a rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I thought this was the Excelle, anyone know what it is, if you can see past Yoa Ming's sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I thought this was the Excelle, anyone know what it is, if you can see past Yoa Ming's sister? Buick Rivera concept from 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 AH OK! thanks JP... I stole it from another site... It just looked too good for current production anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Car Examiner Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The Excelle isn't a Chevrolet Cruze. It's a Suzuki Forenza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) The Excelle isn't a Chevrolet Cruze. It's a Suzuki Forenza. Yep, Excelle is on the old Daewoo Nubira platorm . Cruze is on the new GM Delta II platform designed by Opel. there's a world of difference betwen the two cars. My mistake.

battyr Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 So in 5 years, GM should make enough profit in China to make up for their losses in the rest of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 So in 5 years, GM should make enough profit in China to make up for their losses in the rest of the world. I still see the Chinese market as way to fickle to bank on 5 years down the road... Hell, no one even knows what the US marketplace will look like 5 years from now.

jpd80 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 So in 5 years, GM should make enough profit in China to make up for their losses in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that those Wuling Minivans are fairly cheap, not a lot of profit on them. Remember too that GM are in partnership with Chinese firms meaning a lot of the profit stays there.
