One of the oldest automobile brands in North America, Buick’s history can be traced back all the way to 1899 when the company was called the “

Auto-Vim and Power Company.” In those days Buick was a technological pioneer, owning US patent 771,095 for their “Overhead Valve” engine, a fuel delivery system that can be found in internal combustion engines to this very day. Buick has been a strong member of the GM family of brands (Including Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC) for well over a century (since 1908), and they have always had a devoted following. Buick’s customers fit a profile of people who love American power, blended seamlessly with luxurious interiors and exceptionally comfortable rides.

These days Buick is best known for their top selling and thoroughly optioned SUVs and Crossovers, like the nimble Encore, the confident Envision, and the elegant Enclave. However they still hold a significant portion of the luxury sedan market, with featured cars like the Lacrosse and Regal. In an uncharacteristic pattern, Buick’s current best selling country is China, however Canadians still love their reliable, and comfortable rides. Historically Buick has a tradition of race victories, briefly subbing in for Chevy during the 1960s Indy Car competitions. Enthusiasts will always tell you about the legendary Grand National, a turbocharged muscular beast, pulled from the market for being faster than the Corvette (or so the urban legend goes). Buicks have always a reputation for being warm, approachable, and comfortable, which is why Canadians love them so much for both summer and winter driving.
