The three bids filed last Wednesday by potential investors came from Italy's Fiat SpA, a consortium of Canadian auto parts maker Magna International Inc. and Russia's Sberbank, and U.S. buyout firm Ripplewood Holdings LLC.

It will ride on GM's new Delta II platform that underpins the highly anticipated Chevrolet Cruze. Under the hood, powertrain options are expected to mirror that of the Chevy Cruze. In a nod to the green movement, GM could also slot a version of the Chevy Volt's powertrain into the baby Buick. The model could be sold in Europe.

Before I could muster an answer to my 17-year-old daughter's question, she spotted a new Ford Mustang. "That's a cool car, too," she said, as I drove her to school one morning. There followed a brief and poorly received lecture from me on why a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports model is probably not the best choice for a teenager's first car. Further efforts to ascertain what makes the Mustang and Camaro "cool" in a 17-year-old's opinion did not reveal much. But the... Full article...
