NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
As a fan of GM, this Buick re-badge of the Vue/Antara will only perpetuate stereotypes about the laziness of GM exterior product designers. Invest in some new sheet metal! Buick has some awesome design cues going for it!!!
In case you haven't noticed - GM is kinda tight on money right now. Trashing a relatively new and tested bodyshell/platform/drivetrain just because the division it supported is defunct isn't exactly a smart move right now..
...and if you look closely, the sheetmetal clearly has different details from the Vue blandwagen.
Would you mind pointing out differences between this photo and a current Vue, minus the obvious absence of faux side vents?
What happened to a firm "NO" on re-badging from GM execs?

I hope this isn't the nail in the coffin for GM. I think they (GM) were hoping to capitalize on the urban yuppies with plenty of money to spend on a Volt. Now, they're torn.
And the price? Or are they just planning on leasing the vehicles?

I'm pretty sure the golf platform can't fit the V6's from Audi. The VR6 from vdub fit, albeit with a big penalty to handling. Besides, this new I-5 seems to be lighter than a V6, and has way more historical value.
Can't wait for this engine in the RS-3.
