Tips

culture

Shanghai GM, the 50/50 joint venture between SAIC and General Motors founded in 1997, made Buick surprisingly dominant in China — the brand outsells its US operation by a huge margin, supported by the Regal, LaCrosse, Excelle and GL8 models. 通用 'general' = General Motors; 别克 is phonetic Buick.
