Remember the gold plated Infiniti that was arrested by Chinese police? Did you think that was a bit over the top? GM China shares your sentiments. Instead of gauche gold, GM China displays an all chrome Buick Excelle XT at the Shanghai Auto Show.
We are talking bumper to bumper chrome.
Some visitors could not believe their eyes. The car was clearly talking to their chromagnan inner self. Significant others had their eyes set on other cars, while leaving fingerprints in the chrome paintjob. How can a woman resist a mirror?
I did not dare to ask whether the thing will go on sale. I guess if there is enough interest ….

It looks nice, but it would be a pain to clean.
From the side, it looks almost identical to the current Impreza hatch.
Not that there’s much else one can do with the shape or packaging…
I’d only buy it if it could Cloak.
for all the people standing around the thing virtually no one is looking at it. what’s that tell ‘ya?
Glare …
People don’t want to look at their own reflection?
Her favorite color is chrome…
OMG is that a proper “T- type” badge on the rear? If so, China has once again out-buicked America. Which really, really burns.
+1 The indignation of it all.
Not to mention the tri-color tri-shield…
I like it!
I didn’t spot that, but you’re dead right about that!
Maybe my sarcasm detector is broken this morning, but the T badge is the same one on the Regal Turbo.
On the plus side, it’d be hard to miss seeing that if it were plowing through a farmer’s market or a retirement home parking lot.
Is this the Verano? It sure would be nice to have the hatch here in the US.
With 220 HP, but please not in chrome . . .
The Verano is getting a 2.0T, but I am not sure about the hatch.

I don’t claim to say that any of the data that LLN has about the vehicle is correct. But, it is at the NYIAS.
I think it would be hard to see in traffic.
Once again, Buick proves there’s no plate like chrome.
that’s funny!
Chrome is so gauche. I’ll take mine in nickel.
