The Buick Excelle ( or ) is the common name for the luxury compact cars marketed by Shanghai General Motors Company Limited () under GM's Buick brand. The original Buick Excelle (Chinese "Kai Yue"〔) is based on the Daewoo Lacetti developed in South Korea by Daewoo Motors. While this car was originally sold worldwide under the Daewoo brand, in 2004, General Motors rebranded all Daewoo products in Europe as Chevrolets. Parallel to the Lacetti based Excelle, Shanghai GM introduced a new car, also called "Buick Excelle" in China, but called "Ying Lang" in Chinese.〔 It is based on GM's global compact car platform "Delta II" which is developed at Rüsselsheim in Opel's International Technical Development Center (ITDC). The Chevrolet Cruze is based on this same platform. Since the 2009 economic crises and the subsequent demise of the Saturn brand and reduction of GM's North American brands to four, the Opel models are aligned no longer with the Saturn brand, but the Buick brand. Consequently, the models built and marketed by Buick China are twins of the Opel variants of GM's global platforms. Originally presented in China as a hatchback called the Excelle XT in 2009, which is essentially a rebadged Astra J (2009–present) or as a sedan presented in 2010 called the Buick Excelle GT ().〔http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/01/report-upcoming-buick-premium-compact-sedan-rendered.html〕 A North American version of the Excelle GT is assembled in the United States and marketed as the Buick Verano. ==Buick Excelle (First generation)== The Buick Excelle ( "Kai Yue"〔) was available in a sedan or wagon and Excelle HRV (hatchback) and was a rebadged Daewoo Lacetti. The HRV has ended production but the sedan is currently produced locally in Peoples Republic of China, Shanghai. MY09 model received a facelift consisting of a new front fascia, new rear end design and updated interior. The facelift was partly inspired by the Buick Park Avenue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buick Excelle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
