With 2006 coming to a close, Buick looks set to sell more vehicles in China than it will in the United States during the past year, according to Automotive News. Buick sold 206,582 vehicles in the U.S. during the first 10 months of the year — down 15.4 percent. During the same period, it sold 218,603 cars in China — an increase of 27.4 percent.

While the Buick brand has lost status in the U.S., the brand has maintained a reputation in China. GM is working to reverse the old-fashioned aura surrounding its Buick brand as part of its restructuring campaign to make Buick a more upscale brand.
