Filed under: Geneva Motor Show, Europe, Crossover, Buick, Vauxhall, UK, Design/Style

The Buick Encore will see its first encore in Ye Olde England when it appears as the Vauxhall Mokka, and other than a little bit of fiddling up front, it doesn’t appear that anything changes in the still-ladybug-sized limey version. To our eyes, the design [...]
