Is Buick a Domestic Brand?

[DeAlexander]

Buick is not a domestic brand. Here is detailed information about Buick. 1. Buick is a brand under the American General Motors Group. Most Buick vehicles seen in China are joint-venture models produced by SAIC-GM, while Buick vehicles from the U.S. General Motors are imported. Many Buick models have been localized in China, such as the LaCrosse, Regal, and Envision. 2. Buick was originally an independent automobile manufacturer. On May 19, 1903, David Dunbar Buick founded the Buick Motor Company in the U.S. with the help of the Briscoe brothers. In the latter half of 1904, a carriage manufacturer, William C. Durant, recognized the immense potential of Buick and decisively acquired the company. In 1908, he established General Motors and continued to use the Buick brand as the cornerstone for the new company, which then began to thrive and achieved the highest annual automobile production in the U.S. 3. Buick's founder, David Buick, began developing gasoline engines before 1899 and completed his second car by 1900. However, the Buick Motor Company was not officially established until 1903. The company was renowned for its technological advancements, pioneering innovations such as overhead valves, turn signals, tinted glass, and automatic transmissions.
