Buick Envision

[ramack]

My brother's father-in-law, John, is a retired civil engineer (bridges) that has lived in PA most of his life. One of the die hard GM only kind (not that there's anything wrong with that at all!), buy American, etc.

He's mostly bought Buick's and a few weeks ago bought a 2019(?) Envision. He was soooooo proud of his purchase until my brother told him it was made in China. Nothing but silence on the phone for a few seconds.

When my brother was telling me the story yesterday, I thought he was kidding at first, so I looked it up. Made in Mexico, I would believe that, but China???

Sure is!

Not new news at all, GM announced that it was going to be made in China years before

I asked my brother if John (FiL) was going to take it back. Yesterday my brother said no. This morning, sounds like he may.

Those are the 10 most American cars according to cars.com
