Its not the same thing, really, at all.
Buick Excelle
Although it received a refresh last year, I believe the Excelle is due to be replaced by a Buick-branded version of the Astra a year or so from now. If we are to get a Skylark (and I think we will, eventually), it seems likely that we would have the upmarket Astra as a decent competitor to the A3 and TSX.
Buick LaCrosse
Which Will Become...
All of which is based on the Opel Insignia, albeit with an extended wheelbase version of the Epsilon-II chassis, and I'd say arguably a higher quality interior.
Buick Regal
...Which is pretty much the short wheelbase Insignia, which we're supposed to be getting, although there is no official confirmation.

We are sending Enclaves to China now, but the Lucerne is not shared, as they have the infinitely better Park Avenue (read Holden Statesman) available there.
Those, at least in my mind, are the main reasons why I'm eager for Buick China and Buick North America to integrate.
