Buick has released a video focused on spotlighting the interior design of the 2016 Buick Envision. The clip features commentary from executive director of GM Patac Design, Phil Zak, and Buick Director of Interior Design, Liz Wetzel, as they explain the inspiration behind the Envision’s cabin and why it not only “captures the essence of Buick interior design” but also where the brand is headed. So, hit the play button and see for yourself.
And if that doesn’t really tickle your fancy, then perhaps you will be delighted to know that the Buick Envision’s cabin has several elements that are similar to the gorgeous Buick Avista.

If it was only built in the usa
GM is a global company. Most of the best vehicles use parts made elsewhere. For example, my Chevy Equinox, which is GM’ second best selling vehicle for many years, has a 3.4 L V6 engine made by GM Shangai (the same making that Buick Envision) and a 6-speed automatic transaxle made by Aisin in Japan. The Equinox was assembled at Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, yet it is a 100% American design. After seven years, it had only three failures (two StabiliTrack sensors and one spark plug, all serviced and replaced at no cost under GM warranty), and I love it!
GM is assembling the Buick Envision in China becasue that is the world’s largest market and will sell more there, but it is an 100% American design, as the article explains. I bet even your present car, whatever it is, has parts manufactured elsewhere, yet you don’t complain. Seeing the Envision is a preview of the new Equinox which will share the same platform for 2017.
I’ve come to appreciate the concept of building the car near the area where it will have the highest sales. So since Buick is a THING in China and just reawakening here — it’s not the biggest deal to me.
the side profile still looks hideous.
GM may be a global auto company , but after we supported them with a bailout , and now they are paying us back by giving our American jobs to other country workers . I do not support Buick’s or any other American auto assembled in other countries when Americans are looking for work , So with that said , there will be NO Buick Envision in our garage unless it is assembled in the USA
