Chinese drivers love Buicks, and that's why GM is concerned about their economy

This article effectively describes how China is leading the global company structuring of Buick, an American car maker. Buick sold more than 920,000 cars and minivans in China in 2014 and that number is continuing to grow. The reason behind this is as, say, owning a Mercedes-Benz to us in America is comparable to owning a Buick in China. Some may struggle to understand why this is because Buick is usually thought of as being your grandparents car, but that stereotype is slowly declining. Some experts also attribute this success to the fact that the Chinese economy is currently holding up very well, giving the consumers confidence when purchasing. Overall this will not be interesting to most readers but if anyone has even the slightest of knowledge regarding Buick and how their stereotype has kept their success in the 20th century, it should produce some amount of entertainment!
