The 2012 North American International Auto Show is just around the corner, and everyone at Transwest Buick GMC is practically giddy with excitement! And why wouldn't we be? Buick is planning to unveil its enticing new crossover, the 2013 Buick Encore at the show, and they're giving us a sneak peak on their official Facebook page.

This, however, isn't just any preview. Rather, Buick is counting down the time until the vehicle's official debut by slowly revealing the entire model online for all to see. It all started with a Tri-Shield logo, split into four sections. From there, the upper-left corner of the image revealed the hood and front windshield of the new Crossover Utility Vehicle. We know, we know, that isn't much to go on. More recently, however, the upper-right corner of the image faded away to show the vehicle's back end design and doors.

In other words, we now have a working upper half of the highly-anticipated CUV to feast our eyes on while we wait for some official specs, and hopefully pricing and availability details, at the show. What's more is that we're not left hanging with these two tasty morsels of info either. As we count down to the vehicle's release, you can count on the last two panels of the image disappearing to make room for a full picture of the 2013 Buick Encore.

Of course, if you're lucky enough to visit Cobo Hall in Detroit MI, on January 10^th, you can check out the full production model of the upcoming 2013 Buick Encore for yourself. For those of you that can't make it, be sure to stay tuned. Transwest Buick GMC , located at 7911 E. 96th Avenue Henderson, CO 80640, promises to keep you informed on the details surrounding the Buick Encore, from now until its release.
