Buick Hearts Opel

It seems Buick has a new style language of it's own. Or rather cribbed from it's European brother Opel.

In the January 2009 issue of Motor Trend magazine, we report that Saturn's connection with Opel styling is over. Following the current wave of Saturns, Opel styling will merge with Buick's.

What does that mean for Saturn? Does this mean Saturn is being sent adrift along with Oldsmobile? More about Buick from MT:

Buick, which was once a slight step below Cadillac in prestige, has countered Cadillac's edgy Art & Science styling with more rounded, voluptuous sheetmetal...like on the new Opel Insignia. In both styling and interior quality, the Insignia would have made a perfectly decent 2010 LaCrosse (or Invicta). And smaller Opels already are built as Buicks for the latter brand's biggest market, China.
