General Motors will build a production version of its 2004 Buick Velite concept by the end of the decade, Troy Clarke, president of GM North America told Car and Driver in a recent interview.

The Velite was previewed as a convertible, but the automaker will likely build both sedan and convertible variants, according to the magazine. It will be built on GM’s Zeta architecture.

While a final name has not yet been picked, GM is open to keeping the Velite badge. Velite will be Buick ’s only rear-wheel-drive vehicle, according to Clarke. All other models will remain front-drive.
