Wow!
I can't believe I just read about this on Yahoo.
Buick has this crossover car called the Envision they build in China and now plan to send to over to us here.
Holy smokes!!
One day as a teenager back in the 1970's, I was sitting at the barber shop with my dad. One of the waiting customers with us was really pissed off. Turns out that he had just bought a new Regal for his wife and undenounced to him, it had a Chevy V8 in it. Ed had always bought Buicks. Over the years, I can remember seeing his ongoing affection with the LeSabres. I guess poor Ed never read the fine print saying, "ENGINES BUILT BY VARIOUS DIVISIONS". This was a real slap in the face!
IMHO, this was the beginning of the end for GM. Later on, I hated to see Pontiacs and Oldsmobile cars go away. I always embellished fond memories of the GTO's, Firebird 400's, earlier Grand Prix cars, Trans-Am's and the Olds 442.
Buick should call this new car the Invasion!
I hope this is the biggest mistake besides the Chevy Vega!
