Buick goes to China
Thursday, March 22, 2007 at 4:57AM POST: First Chinese-designed car in U.S. will be the Buick LaCrosse, by John Neff, Mar 19th 2007
Get used to this story.
First, there's the natural bit that what was once U.S. became Japanese became Korean became Chinese (i.e., design prowess).
Second is GM tapping China to better sell to the bottom of the pyramid.
Third is China's car sales outpacing ours (across the board, sooner than you think).
Fourth, first "Chinese" cars to American will be ours, the next wave will not.
New player in market, new rules.
Thanks to Shiva Polefka for sending this.
