Shanghai GM has announced that sales of Buick vehicles have surpassed 3 million units since the joint venture began offering the brand in China in 1999.

“Buick has become one of China’s fastest-growing passenger car brands,” GM said in a statement. “With Shanghai GM’s rollout of its new Buick brand strategy in 2008, sales have increased by more than 100,000 units annually.”

Shanghai GM said it has introduced the Buick Intelligent Performance (BIP) system, which merges European-style suspensions and powertrains with American vehicle communication systems. It said that the adoption of technologies such as intelligent direct injection has greatly improved the efficiency of Buick products built and sold in China.

Buick currently has more than 400 4S stores in China.

At the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show, Buick unveiled the Envision Concept, which it said hints at a future SUV for the Chinese market.

    I was stuck behind a new Kia Sportage in traffic. Not so bad as the car is quite pleasant to look at as are many of Hyundai’s and Kia’s of late. The Koreans seem to have captured a Mojo as Japan has lost theirs (in terms of automotive designs). Chinese automakers are showing signs of the same Mojo if only they are brave/confident enough to continue some of their concepts into production (apparently not an easy process in Europe/US, but may be quite possible as we see in Hyundai/Kia) AND then to market the end product around the world.
