From what I read they offered the car to US buick dealers and the dealers were afraid it would give the Buick Lucerne to much competition.....Besides that Buick sells more cars in China then in the US! Crazy huh? I luv buicks and own 2 of them myself, 1970 gs 455, 1987 GN, and I hate to see it happened but I believe Buick is going down the same road as Olds...No exciting cars just the same old man sedans they've been building for years and in a few more years a memory...Wouldn't it be neat if they came out with a 2008 GrandNational?! Err something...Won't happened...
