As 2006 comes to a close, it appears GM’s Buick luxury division will have sold more vehicles in China than in the United States over the past year. According to Automotive News, Buick sold 206,582 vehicles in the U.S. during the first 10 months of the year — a decrease of 15.4 percent. Meanwhile, it sold 218,603 cars in China — an increase of 27.4 percent.
Of course, GM is hoping products like the new Enclave crossover will give Buick a sizable boost in America, but there’s no denying these latest figures are a sign of the times for the once-iconic American luxury brand.
