Probably GM decided to make a sister/brother for the Optra5.
maybe thats in korea or japan?
i know optra is originally a daewoo(korean company which gm controls)
It's marketed as a Buick in China... Apparently the brand has a lot of pedigree there (i.e. before the Communists moved in 50-ish years ago), and when GM went there to invest in build cars (90's), they chose the Buick Century/Regal to build in Shanghai. Since then the Buick brand expanded beyond the Century/Regal; they have the Chevy Venture badged as Buick GL8, and a big Holden as the Buick Royaum. After the takeover of Daewoo, GM also brought the Optra/Optra5 into China, also marketed as Buicks. I guess the rest of the Korean GM lineup will make their way into China too, but it could be split between Chevy and Buick.
