'''GMC''', formerly known as '''GMC Truck''', is a Canada-based branch of General Motors' brand name of [[truck]]s, [[van]]s, and [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]]s. Its vehicles are marketed in North America and the Middle East.

==History==
[[Image:GMCTrucks1919.jpg|thumb|left|250px|GMC Truck, from a 1919 advertisement]]
In 1900, Max Grabowsky established a company called the "Rapid Motor Vehicle Company", which developed some of the earliest commercial trucks ever designed. The trucks utilized one-cylinder engines. In 1909, the company was purchased by [[GMC|General Motors]] to form the basis for the General Motors Truck Company, from which GMC Truck was derived.

Another indepedent manufacturer purchased by GM that same year was Reliance Motor Car Company. Rapid & Reliance were merged in 1911, and in 1912 the marque "'''GMC Truck'''" was first shown at the New York Auto Show. 22,000 trucks were produced that year, though GMC's contribution to that total was a mere 372 units.

In 1916, a GMC Truck crossed the country from Seattle to New York in thirty days, and in 1926, a 2-ton GMC truck was driven from New York to San Francisco in 5 days and 30 minutes.

During the Second World War, GMC Truck produced 600,000 trucks for use by the U.S. military. In 1996 GM dropped the word 'truck' from the GMC Truck name, thus creating the GMC name as we know it today.

In 2002, GMC released a book entitled, ''GMC: The First 100 Years'', that explained the company's complete history.

GMC currently manufactures [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]]s, [[pickup truck]]s, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty trucks. In the past, GMC also produced [[fire truck]]s, [[ambulance]]s, heavy-duty trucks, [[military vehicle]]s, [[motorhome]]s, and transit [[bus]]es.
GMC is positioned as an outlet for the same trucks available under the [[Chevrolet]], and occasionally [[Isuzu]] or Suzuki, usually
for Buick or Pontiac dealers, typically at lower volumes. The [[Envoy XUV]] was a unique body style. The [[Denali]] is
an alternative to the [[Cadillac Escalade]], but it does not sell the popular [[Chevrolet Avalanche | Avalanche]] or minivan based SUVs. The [[Sprint]] (later [[GMC Caballero|Caballero]]) was a rebadged [[El Camino]] and is
a rare alternative. A consumer would choose on the basis of styling details and dealer preference.

In 2007, the company will introduce the [[GMC Acadia|Acadia]], a [[crossover SUV]], which will be the company's first [[unibody]] vehicle.

{{List Of Buick Models}}
'''Buick''' is a brand of automobile built in the United States, Canada, and China by [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]] Corporation. Buicks are sold in North America, China, Taiwan, and Israel. The name is pronounced "B-YOU-ick." It is now GM's only US-based semi-luxury brand since the demise of [[Oldsmobile]] in 2004, although GM's Swedish subsidiary, [[Saab]], fills a similar segment in price and prestige level.

==History==
[[Image:LouisChevrolet_1910VanderbiltCup.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Louis Chevrolet driving a Buick Bug in the 1910 Vanderbilt Cup]]
Buick originated as an independent motor car manufacturer, the '''Buick Motor Company''', incorporated on May 19, 1903 by the Scottish-American David Dunbar Buick (who invented the [[overhead valve engine]] on which the company's success was based) in Flint, Michigan. In 1904 the struggling company was taken over by James Whiting, who brought in William C. Durant to manage his new acquisition. Buick himself unwisely sold his stock for a small sum at his departure, and died in very modest circumstances forty years later.

Durant was a natural, however, and Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this, Durant embarked on a series of several dozen corporate acquisitions, calling his new mega-corporation [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]].

At first, the different manufacturers who comprised General Motors competed against each other, but Durant put a stop to that. He wanted each General Motors division to target one class of buyer, and in his new scheme Buick was near the top—only the luxurious [[Cadillac (automobile)|Cadillac]] brand had more prestige.

In 1929, the Buick Motor Division launched the [[Marquette automobile|Marquette]] sister brand, designed to help bridge the price gap between Buick and Oldsmobile, however Marquette was discontinued in 1930.

Even today, Buick retains that position in the GM lineup. The ideal Buick customer was comfortably off; possibly not quite rich enough to afford a Cadillac or not desiring the ostentation of one, but definitely in the market for a car a cut above the norm.

Speculation exists, however, as to whether GM will repeat its termination of the [[Oldsmobile]] by eliminating the Buick brand in order to further cut costs, following the temporary suspension of GM's planned ''Zeta'' project to develop new rear wheel drive cars which would have fit the Buick market niche, and the consolidation of Buick, Pontiac, and GMC trucks into a single dealer franchise, which would make it simple to eliminate the Buick brand without leaving any dealers with no product. However, with the development of the Zeta platform apparently still ongoing (including the development of the 2006 [[Holden Commodore#VE Commodore|VE Holden Commodore]]), it may be likely that Buick will survive still.

Buick began consolidating its lineup in 2005, replacing the [[Buick Century|Century]] and [[Buick Regal|Regal]] with the [[Buick LaCrosse|LaCrosse]], and the [[Buick LeSabre|LeSabre]] and [[Buick Park Avenue|Park Avenue]] with the [[Buick Lucerne|Lucerne]] in 2006. The company will replace both of its [[SUV]]s, the [[Buick Rendezvous|Rendezvous]] and [[Buick Rainier|Rainier]] with the [[Buick Enclave|Enclave]] within 18 months, while the slow-selling [[Buick Terraza|Terraza]] minivan likely to end production shortly after. This will leave the marque with just three models by 2009.

== Distinguishing features ==
Buick's emblem consists of three shields, each bisected diagonally to the right by a straight line, the shields arranged touching each other in a left-diagonal pattern, inside a circle. If represented in color, the leftmost shield is red, the middle white, and the rightmost blue, although white is sometimes represented by light gray. This design, known as the '''Trishield''', was adopted in 1959 for the 1960 models and represents the three models that comprised the lineup that year—LeSabre, Invicta, and Electra. The shields are adopted from the shield of the Buick family crest, which in modified form had been used on Buicks since the 30s. A version of the traditional crest appeared on Electras through the 70s.
[[Image:800px-1951_Buick_Eight_Sedan.JPG|thumb|300px|right|Buick Eight Sedan, 1951. Three '''Portholes''' are visible.]]
A traditional Buick styling cue dating to 1949 is a series of three or four '''portholes''' or vents on the front fender behind the front wheels. The source of this design feature was a [[custom car]] (one not made by Buick), which in addition had a flashing light within each hole, each synchronized with a specific spark plug — a feature not used by Buick. These were originally called "'''Ventiports'''" (later just "portholes"), and have appeared sporadically on several models since, as nonfunctional ornamentation. Lower cost models were equipped with three portholes, while higher cost models came with four; when the number of portholes was standardized across the entire model line, buyers of the higher cost models complained bitterly that they felt shortchanged. In 2003 they were re-introduced on the [[Buick Park Avenue]]. After the Park Avenue was discontinued, Buick salvaged the portholes to appear on the new [[Buick Lucerne|Lucerne]]. In a break with tradition, the Lucerne's portholes refer directly to engine configuration: six-cylinder models have six, while V8s have eight.
[[Image:800px-Skylark-Wiki-Side-View-D.jpg|thumb|300px|right|'''"Sweepspear"''' in a Buick Skylark.]]
Another styling cue from the 1940s through the 1970s was the '''"sweepspear"''', a curved line running the length of the car. In the earlier cars, this was a chrome-plated rub strip which, after it passed the front wheel, gently curved down nearly to the rocker panel just before the rear wheel, and then curved around the rear wheel in a quarter of a circle to go straight back to the tail-light. During the two-tone color craze of the 1950s, the sweepspear separated two different color areas. After that, the curved line was usually indicated either by a vinyl rub strip or simply a character line molded into the sheetmetal.

During the 1950s, the characteristic form of the Buick taillamps was a tier of small circular bullet-shapes. In the early 1960s, most models began to evolve a wide, rectangular pattern, until the '65 [[Buick Skylark|Skylark]] and [[Buick Electra|Electra]] models appeared with full-width rear lamps. Since then, '''wide taillamps''' have been a Buick hallmark.
[[Image:663px-Buick_lesabre_front.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Buick '''"dollar grin"''' and '''Trishield''' in a Buick Lesabre]]
The Buick styling cue (dating from the 1940s) that has most often reappeared, though, is for the grille to be a horizontal oval with many thin vertical chromed ribs bulging forward. This has sometimes been called the Buick '''"dollar grin"''' particularly on the early 1950s models, which had thick, highly-polished ribs that somewhat resembled teeth. It appears Buick may be preparing to abandon this styling cue for a new waterfall grille, as seen on the [[Buick Velite]] concept car from 2004 and the [[Buick Lucerne]] introduced for the 2006 model year. This waterfall grille bears some resemblance to grilles of Buicks from the 1980s, such as the [[Buick Grand National#Grand National and GNX|Grand National]].

The [[Buick V8 engine]], nicknamed the "nailhead", became popular with [[hot-rod]]ders in the 1950s and 1960s, because the vertical attachment of the [[valve cover]]s, in contrast to the angled attachment of other V-8 engines, enabled the engine to fit into smaller spaces while maintaining easy access for maintenance.

== Geographical distribution ==
Unlike some of GM's other brands, Buicks are currently not marketed globally, although the marque had a substantial export presence until a few years ago. Some Buicks were also built in Europe or were available with specific trim for european market until 1996.

In pre-World War II China, one in five cars were Buicks.

Currently most Buick sales are restricted to the United States and Canada. However, Buick has attracted a considerable market in a few countries.

===Buick in New Zealand===
Buicks used to be sold in New Zealand. Back then, they were also built at the GMNZ plant in Petone, outside Wellington. However, at the end of World War II, the Buick name was not revived.

===Buick in Israel===
In Israel, Buicks are imported by Universal Motors, Ltd. (UMI), which also imports other GM vehicles. In the 2005 model year, the [[Buick LeSabre]] and [[Buick Rendezvous]] were sold. For the 2006 model year, the [[Buick LaCrosse]] and [[Buick Lucerne]] will be sold alongside the Rendezvous, which might replace the LeSabre in sales.

===Buick in the Middle East===
Buicks used to be sold throughout the Middle East until the [[Buick Roadmaster]] was discontinued.

===Buick in China===
Since 1999, a Chinese version of the [[Buick Century]]/[[Buick Regal|Regal]] has been produced and sold in China under Shanghai GM and has proven to be popular among upscale, professional families, establishing Buick as the most popular vehicle brand in China. In addition, Buick of China also sells the compact Excelle (based on the [[Daewoo]] [[Daewoo Nubira|Lacetti/Nubira]]), a five-door [[hatchback]] version called the [[Daewoo Lacetti|HRV]], and a modified version of the first generation [[Pontiac Montana]] minivan named the [[Buick GL8|GL8]].

In June, 2005, Buick announced that it will build a car named the ''Buick Royaum'' in Australia for export to China, based on the [[Holden Statesman]] and Caprice luxury cars. Buick previously marketed the subcompact [[Buick Sail|Sail]], sourced from GM's Asian operations and based on the [[Opel Corsa]] B, until 2005. Since then, Shanghai GM has replaced it with the [[Chevrolet|Chevrolet]] Sail. Buick has stated that it expects China to become its second largest market.

For the 2006 model year, Buick debuted the Chinese version of the [[Buick LaCrosse|LaCrosse]] sedan; major differences are the exterior design, different engine choices, and a facelifted interior. It is positioned above the Regal but below the Royaum.

===Buick in Taiwan===
GM Taiwan was founded in August 1989. In the early 1990s, Buick, along with other GM brands were very popular and frequently seen on Taiwanese streets. [[Buick Park Avenue|Park Avenue]], 3rd & 4th generation [[Buick Regal|Regal]], and 6th generation [[Buick Skylark|Skylark]] used to be sold in Taiwan.

In December 2004, General Motors signed a memorandum of understanding with [[Yulon]], a firm based in Taiwan, for the licensed manufacture of Buick vehicles there. In July 2005, Yulon GM Motor Co. Ltd. (Yulon GM), a joint venture with 51 percent equity stake held by Yulon Motor and 49 percent by GM was founded, mainly to serve as a channel for local sales.

On April 17th 2006, Yulon-GM debuted the first Buick vehicle to be built in Taiwan, the [[Buick LaCrosse|LaCrosse]] sedan. It is mainly the same vehicle as the Chinese-market [[Buick LaCrosse|LaCrosse]].

In addition, the imported [[Buick Rendezvous|Rendezvous]] is also marketed in Taiwan.
