<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm">General Motors</a> has announced that it will launch its next generation <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick">Buick</a> GL8 van in China on November 28. While minivans on this side of the globe are relegated to ferrying screaming broods from school to soccer practice, Buick is marketing the GL8 directly toward business people as a more spacious, comfortable alternative to executive limousines. Fittingly enough, the Buick marketing department has decided to call the van an "executive wagon." Play time is officially over.<br />
<br />
Under the hood, buyers can expect to find one of two engine options. The GL8 will be available with either a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine or a more powerful 3.0-liter V6, though both will be paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.<br />
<br />
