Rather than borrowing from Opel for yet another product, Buick might be gearing up to share with Cadillac.

General Motors’ premium brand might use the new full-size rear-wheel drive platform primarily being developed to underpin a new full-size sedan for Cadillac to build a Buick Flagship according to a report from Automobile Magazine.

While there hasn’t been any official confirmation about the plan, GM president Mark Reuss hasn’t been shy about discussing gaps in Buick’s product line. While answering questions about whether or not GM would offer an answer to Ford’s SVT Raptor pickup, Reuss cited more pressing gaps that need attention, including Buick.

Buick’s debut of the Riviera concept in China earlier this year could offer a preview of what could ultimately become the brand’s Cadillac-based flagship.
