The Buick Verano (Verano is Spanish for summer) is a four-door, five passenger, compact sedan with a front engine, front-wheel drive layout projected to go on sale in North America in the fourth quarter of 2011 as a 2012 model. The Verano formally debuted at the North American International Auto Show on January 10, 2011, to be the first compact marketed by Buick in the United States since the Buick Skylark was discontinued in 1997. The Verano shares General Motors' Delta II platform with the Chevrolet Cruze, was co-developed with the Chinese market Buick Excelle GT and is projected for assembly in the United States at General Motor's Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan.
