Most Buick vehicles sold in the United States after 2016 could be imported from China and Europe, according to two sources familiar with parent General Motors Co's plans.
Only two of Buick's future U.S. models, replacements for the mid-size LaCrosse sedan and the large Enclave crossover, are expected to be built in North America, according to the sources, who did not want to be identified because their companies work with GM.
...
In Detroit, Cindy Estrada, head of the UAW's GM department, said the automaker would be "tone deaf" to import vehicles from overseas "after the sacrifices by U.S. taxpayers," as well as union concessions, to create a profitable GM after a government-funded bailout in 2009.
...
China is the largest market for the Buick brand, with sales last year of 919,582 vehicles, more than four times the 228,963 vehicles that Buick sold in the United States.

I would beg to differ given their “dressed up” Buicks are still cut-down compared to US equivalents. They sell them with less engine, spartan interiors (save for upper end models), and lesser parts elsewhere in the car.

Some type of graphic manipulation software such as photoshop, etc. I'm not sure who did that graphic I posted or how. I received it by email.
I have an old copy of photoshop but I rarely use it. There are so many people who do custom graphics and they're all more artistic than I am.
I content myself writing code. I'm pretty good at that.

China likes Buicks because the name has no Ls or Rs in it.

Buicks nowadays are driven by elderly folks, and if they are pimped out or look like sh1t, urban blacks.
