Facelift Buick GL8 makes Two new Buick GL8′s

Shanghai-GM is working on a facelift for the Buick GL8 MPV. At the same time they are working on an all new GL8. This is not as strange as it might sound. Chinese automakers, including their western partners, often continue production of the old car when a new one arrives.
It is then sold as a cheaper entry-level car and usually gets a small facelift to make it at least look a little new. Shanghai-GM seems to take this road as well. So soon we’ll have two GL8, this facelifted ‘old’ one and a brandnew car. See here for another example from Beijing-Hyundai.

The new Shanghai-GM Buick GL8 was expected to debut at the Beijing Auto Show but didn’t make it. Instead GM brought the Business Concept, which debuted one year earlier in Shanghai. That is a nice looking machine and good good, the new GL8 loox a lot like it.

SAIC-GM is working on the new GL8 but it is not finished yet. So now Buick brings this nicely styled GL8 ‘Business Concept’ to the Beijing Auto Show. That is a weird name so I guess it is designed in China and not in the US. Size: 5278mmx1985mmx1809mm, wheelbase is 3198.

Gee de wee, they almost got me there. Nein, this isn’t the new Audi A6. Instead it is the new Shanghai GM Buick GL8, Buick GL8 from now. The Buick GL8 is not a very popular vehicle anymore. It did well for taxi companies and government but the current one is just too old. It never did much in private sales and that’s where the big money is today. So the new one comes with a much hipper lines and Buick’s new big front.
