New Buick

[Oh Haha]

I dig it although I'm not sure who would buy it.

All of the talk around Flint is about the SUV being made in China and imported back into the US.

The UAW is calling for boycotts of dealers that carry it.

We are not in the market for anything new unless we hit the lottery and if we do I won't be buying a Buick!

A Caddy CTS-V would be on my list, though.

thats a nice looking concept. hope it becomes a reality

General Motors has aligned itself with the world’s second largest economy, China, to debut its export-import Buick Envision. Interestingly, the Envision was launched in China one year ago, raking in sales of over 140,000 units. Even in Buick-crazed China, that's damn impressive.
Made In China For America: This Is The Buick Envision
This was no litmus test for GM: It was a strategic alliance whose dividends would leverage a growing market shifting away from traditional sedan vehicles to crossovers and SUVs in the U.S. Despite being assembled in Yantai, China, Americans will be greatly surprised by the Envision’s overall quality and level-spec that's in keeping with the patriotic, "bigger is better." The Envision will feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that will produce 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission will handle the work of splitting the physics via a HiPer Strut front suspension and active twin clutch all-wheel-drive system.
Luxury is the cradle stone of the interior, which includes a tri-climate control, heated steering wheel and front-rear seats, (optional panoramic moonroof, cooled front seats and xenon headlights), Bose sound system with GM’s excellent Onstar, 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi supported Intellilink infotainment system, which includes four USB ports and Bluetooth accessible via the 8-inch touchscreen. The Envision will come standard with Lane Change Alert, rear cross traffic alert, StabiliTrak ESC, following distance indicator and optional collision mitigation braking. Sales are expected to begin in the second half of the year and pricing will be announced closer to that time.
