With THAT kind of forward thinking from GM, my anger toward Pontiac being gone lessons a little. It was bad enough to endure the Pontiac LeMans! (the Daewoo Korean one).

Don't think that GM's target customer for the 2016 Buick Encore is that concerned where the car is manufactured. Some may be, but Americans have been purchasing cars built in various Asian countries for years now (unfortunately
).
On the other hand, if GM decided to move their truck line assembly to China, I would think most potential US truck buyers would say good bye to GM.
