Continued Growth for GM Sales

As you see the continued growth of the GM brands in China, the expectation is that this particular automotive company will be able to give more for the Chinese market that may make its way to our shores in the future.  The strong following of Buick in China continues to be evident and grows the way that we can admire as it becomes one of the brands that we’ll see for the future of driving in the largest market in the world.  The numbers are likely to increase even more of the next few years with GM adding more models each year to strengthen the foothold in China.
