This vehicle was built by GM. Last I checked they are a global company. They have infrastructure everywhere. So we are saying GM Korea, German, Australia, England, Poland, Middle East, etc. is ok but GM China is not?

No, I wouldnt buy a GM vehicle imported from those countries either (but especially China because some of their practices). I am proud of my Missouri built Colorado and Michigan built Mustang and will gladly pay a few more bucks to keep them here. I do try to buy American when possible on other types of products, but of course its pretty hard to find feasible options for many things.

I'll be asking, and perhaps demanding, that my local Buick dealer remove their gigantic 100 foot long US flag from their premises. It should be considered false advertising. I'll also be asking my elected representatives why GM was given $11.2 billion in US taxpayer dollars under the pretense that we needed to save them from liquidation in order to save jobs and there was no clause to prevent them from shifting production to China. This is obviously only the beginning. Mary Barra has sold out America and every citizen that gave her the money to keep her disgraceful company in business. She makes me sick. I would have rather seen GM liquidated.

I know you had a bad experience, a very unfortunate one at that, and the replacement vehicle didn't help, but the vast majority of us at that facility are very proud of this sticker. We do everything in our power to make those words true, though most of us don't hold enough power to make everything the way it should be. Here's to winning you back as a customer someday, and an end of the constant mockery of our people and products. Time heals wounds.

Kinda hard to imagine winning back anybody at this point. I had considered purchasing one of your cars at one point but no GM product will be on my list in the future and I suggest everyone at LGR start taking night classes and learning court reporting or medical transcription because Mary obviously has no shame so you're likely next.

When the Envision sells well here it will only lead to more and more cars made in China. The folks that don't like the idea of Chinese built Buicks should be in front of the dealerships protesting. John and Jane Q. Public will probably never know what they are buying.

If the Envision becomes a political lightning rod, ala Hummer or suffers a few spectatular safety defects that equate it to poisoned Chinese Dog Treats (look at a dog treat package the next time you shop), it will go very badly for the "Envasion."

Me Me Me. I want the cheapest goods I can buy! Move every industry to a third world country so everything will be CHEAP!

Never stop for a second and think about what it is exactly that stops the United States from being a third world country? We can only knock so many bricks out of the foundation of our country and expect it to continue to stand. When the last job has moved to China, or India, maybe more people will "get it".

When did the US make this vehicle, close the plant, and send the production to China?

Think a little harder.

When Toyota and Honda came to America in the 1970s, they didn't actually close US plants, shift production to Japan and lay-off anybody but effectively that's what they caused to happen. When Chevrolet Novas were traded in on Toyota Corollas, GM lost a sale and eventually they lost enough sales that they shuttered plants, fired people and left towns like Detroit and Flint to die.

Every time someone purchases a Made in China Buick Envasion instead of a Kentucky-built Lincoln, or a Michigan-made Enclave, a US worker has less to do and if enough people buy the Communist-made products eventually Americans will lose jobs, more towns die, and the nation continues its decline.

Basically everybody loses but self-centered, greedy people like Mary Barra and the 16-year old factory workers half a world away.

Why not ask why the US signed the Lima Agreement (which has now expired I think but has probably been replaced). It agreed to send 25% of production to developing countries before 2000.

I think it's a wonderful opportunity for Buick to expand it's dealer network. Imagine if you will, you're at your local Walmart, shopping for just the right piece of pressboard furniture, and in the next aisle over, you can have a look at the latest offering from Buick! Might even have a "roll back" sign on it?

What a shame, one of the great NA GM plants is being slowly shut down. Oshawa (among others obviously) losing production to China.

Thanks for your loyalty GM. :)

I see the new GM lead by Mary Barra team could not pull off shipping these vehicles with the tri-colored Buick logo, even though the Chinese models have them. It already looks dated, old logo, exposed rear wiper, five year old design. Maybe they can hire some minimum wage workers in the U.S. to pry off the black and white symbol and replace them with the Blue, Red and Silver logo before they arrive in Detroit or Chicago.....JP

I think the reason people are upset is because it is a slippery slope from here. What if every car is a "world car" and they are all made everywhere. That wouldn't be awful if - and only IF - we retained a strong manufacturing base here in the United States. Otherwise, we're signing away even more power and manufacturing over to countries that are not allies.

Oshawa could have made this for sure.

Still hoping GM will wake up and give these guys a new vehicle!
