The Regal, which makes its U.S. debut today in Los Angeles, has already been on the market for about a year in Europe as the award-winning Opel Insignia.

I note that China is "Buick's primary market these days".
General Motors displayed the all new 2011 Buick Regal just days ago in Los Angeles. The vehicle will be one of the first GM products to be propelled by their second generation mild-hybrid powertrains.

wiki says the US cars will come from Germany, not China...
When it launches, the North American-market Buick Regal will be assembled alongside the Opel Insignia in Rüsselsheim, Germany. However, it was previously reported in Canada's National Post that GM would build this Insignia-based Regal at its Oshawa, Ontario plant, as a way to convince the Canadian government to grant the struggling automaker $2.4 billion in financial aid.
