: After all, TOY/Japan, Inc. must keep up the lemming/sheeple brainwashing of the U.S. public, whether reality or not.

on GM not promoting the brand's reliability. That should be their #1 marketing priority, because lets face it:
They can't market on performance because there is none.
They can't market on style(except the Enclave), because there is none.
They can market on luxury, but nobody really buys a Buick for status, prestige, or an inferiority complex.
Reliability is really Buick's #1 attribute IMO and yet GM's marketers don't get it. Another example of how GM can manage to screw up something its doing right.

That Chinese Buick looks great, and it's based on the G8/Camaro platform!?!?

GM has to be one of the most idiotic companies in the world.

you know 90% of this "buick reliability" is BS this has been feed to the us public for years.
lets take a closer look at the 2001 buick century, it is a "W body"
now lets see what are the common "problems" the 2001 "W body" grand prix's have...... blower resistors, window motors, wheel bearings. now let check part numbers.... ooops they happen to be the same used in buick and pontiac ??????
now tell me how the buick is more reliable? it's all in your head guys. if we where talking about cars that used differant parts that I would belive but anything else is just proof you have been brain washed
it's the same as saying a firebird is more reliable than a camaro

All the people who responded would have to be brainwashed, do you believe that to be fact?
