I can't fault GM for making a profit or entering any market where it can do so.

But I'm a little concerned that the Chinese influences on Buick product design might over time start creeping into GM products primarily intended for the rest of the world (and the USA & Canada in particular).


Some years ago, I bummed a few autocross runs in a friend's E-Street Prepared 4th gen Firebird. A very easy, very honest car to jump into and drive the snot out of.
