  • 2015 Buick LaCrosse

    It seems that Buick might be packing up some of its manufacturing and venturing overseas. That's the rumor according to a report from Reuters, which states that the bulk of the Buick lineup could be built overseas from as early as 2016. With as strong a presence as the automaker has in China, it's not a massive shock to see them make such a move...still, it's a move that could rattle the remaining Buick faithful.
