There’s a very large Buick factory in Shanghai, I’ve seen it. Most ‘upscale’ Chinese drive Buick’s. I hear they’re going to be making Caddies there too.
I’m guessing that’s why GM dropped Olds and kept Buick.

Does not matter to me. I will never ever buy another GM or Chrysler product.
That is after our family being loyal customers for decades.

Shows how old I am - I remember Buick models from around that time.

“Like all Chinese imports, I would expect to pay about $8,000 for a new Buick.”
No idea if that will ever materialize, but here’s a list of the cheapest cars in the world:

The problem will always be reliability and collision standards. In poor countries, salaries are low, and this translates into relatively low labor rates for repairs.

Why, yes, I am getting old. Why do you ask?

No, that was Oldsmobile, which had a lot of tech-heavy or Cadillac-like features.
I’d be fine if they gave up on Buick in the US, got rid of the Cadillac lower-tier cars, and let a more American Oldsmobile take the place of both.
Buick is already in bad enough shape with being an Opel in all but name.

The Chinese are not dummies.
A tricked-out Buick (really a rebadged Australian Holden) will be sold for a price competitive with something like, say, a Toyota Avalon or equivalent.
GM’s subsidiary Holden in Australia is not doing so well either, but that in no way detracts from the quality of the cars they design and build.
