Yesterday, we showed you the first official rendering of Buick’s forthcoming small car, a shrunken LaCrosse lookalike that is expected to be based on the European market Opel Astra. The image was flashed on the screen during General Motors’ presentation of the new 2011 Buick Regal at this week’s LA Auto Show, and judging by these latest spy shots from our friends at CarPix, it would appear that the rendering gives us a very good look at the upcoming sedan.

In case people are worried about Buick offering what amounts to a gussied-up mid-size family sedan in the luxury field, that’s what Lincoln and Acura have done with MKZ and the TSX, respectively. We have to say that the Buick is a classier piece than both of them. It’s very handsome to look at and is hardly changed from the Insignia; only the grille, headlamps, taillight bulbs, badging, and side-mirror glass are different.

Trivia Time: When was the last time a U.S. market Buick was available with a manual transmission? Honestly, we can’t recall anything more recent than a buddy in high school having a hand-me-down mid-Eighties Somerset coupe with a stubby, workmanlike five-speed.

Last night General Motors’ superstar train blew into Los Angeles for a gala event at one of Hollywood’s most iconic theaters, the Palladium. Designed by Hoover Dam architect Gordon Kaufman and opened by a $1 Frank Sinatra concert in 1940, the Palladium has played host to a who’s who of music superstars including James Brown, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Madonna and the Pixies.

Once up a time in the ’80s, it was fashionable in Detroit to create so-called Euro-sedans by taking conventional mainstream grandma-mobiles and painting all the chrome black, dispensing with the white walls and installing overly stiff springs. Fortunately, those dark days are gone and General Motors and Ford at least have gotten their heads around how to build the kind of cars they sell in Europe. Just bring over European cars.

With great fanfare, General Motors has introduced the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, a vehicle with which the automaker hopes to jump-start a sweeping brand transformation for the tired Tri-Shield. For Buick to be a success in GM’s post-bailout, post-bankruptcy era, the brand must dump its well-deserved reputation as the preferred marque of last-time buyers.

When Bob Lutz came to General Motors, he was charged with turning around the company’s unimaginative product development. In Maximum Bob part deux, GM’s most senior leader is turning his attention to marketing, where the Detroit automaker has been less than cutting edge.

One of the two new sedans that Buick has promised to introduce in the next 12-18 months is a compact based on the new Opel Astra. We had a chance to see the new car a few weeks ago at the GM design studios in Warren, Michigan, but no photography was allowed.
