Mid-size cars might be yesterday's news (even though they're still the third-largest vehicle segment in the U.S.), but Buick is sticking with them. Sort of. Ahead of the 2017 New York auto show, GM's near-premium brand introduced a fresh take on its mid-size car with the new 2018 Regal Sportback...

Opel’s Insignia mid-sizer has just been redesigned. So far we’ve only seen the Grand Sport fastback sedan and Sports Tourer wagon. Also in the pipeline is a Country Tourer soft-roader, which has just been spied in prototype form. The Insignia Country Tourer is a rival to the Subaru...

Buick’s next Regal for the United States will reportedly adopt the fastback sedan body style of the Opel Insignia Grand Sport that debuted last week at the 2017 Geneva auto show. A Regal with a conventional notchback sedan body style is also in the works, but this will reportedly be sold in...

The Enclave is the vehicle that kicked off Buick’s renaissance 10 years ago, and despite its age sales are still brimming. It’s a vehicle General Motors can’t afford to muck up, so it will be interesting to see what the automaker has in store for the Enclave’s redesign...

Recently, we saw Holden unveil its redesigned Commodore. At this week's 2017 Geneva auto show, we have our first look at Opel’s version of the car, the Insignia Grand Sport. Apart from their badges—and whether the steering wheel is on the left or right—the two cars are virtually...

Business for Buick continues to boom, especially in China where it’s the second most popular brand in the passenger car market. General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] is yet to reveal overall figures for 2016 but we know in China alone Buick managed to move 1,180,372 cars. That’s even more...

Opel is working on a new generation of its Insignia mid-size sedan, a version of which will eventually make it into Buick showrooms as the 2018 Regal and into Holden showrooms as the 2018 Commodore. The outgoing Insignia is already a competent handler, particularly in OPC trim, but Opel engineers...

Buick’s Envision raised a lot of eyebrows when it hit the market earlier in 2016 as the compact crossover SUV was the first vehicle from General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] to be imported from China. (Soon we’ll also be getting the Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid by way of China.) The...

The dust is just starting to settle after two raucous days of new car reveals at the 2016 Los Angeles auto show. However, things are just kicking into high gear over at the 2016 Guangzhou auto show which opened its doors Friday. One of the stars is the new Buick Velite concept, an...

Jay Leno loves cars. He also loves chatting with his fellow comedian friends, and one of those friends is David Spade. Now Spade might not initially jump out at you as a "car guy", but he's been bitten by the bug. While filming his Joe Dirt movie, he fell in love with the ratty Superbird. So much...

It is safe to say that this 1952 Buick Super Riviera looked nothing like it does today when it rolled off the assembly line and made its way to its first owner.
