<br />Yesterday's rumors regarding a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/09/report-gm-has-three-possible-offers-for-hummer-between-100-20/">possible Buick sale</a> to China's Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. (SAIC) might have been a wee bit premature according to an unnamed executive at GM China. This news should be anything but surprising - we didn't put much stock in the rumor when we first reported it - since the success of the Buick brand is one of GM's few current bright spots.<br /><br />In America, General Motors has singled out Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick as the core brands that it will concentrate on, which gives further reason to believe that the Buick nameplate will be staying right where it is in the General Motors portfolio. Hummer, Saab and Saturn, on the other hand, remain very much for sale.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/">2009 Chinese-spec Buick Regal</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/1248210/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/x08bu_rg001cn-1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/1248232/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/x08bu_rg002cn-1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/1248218/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/x08bu_rg003cn-1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/1248213/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/x08bu_rg004cn-1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-china-buick-regal/1248221/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/x08bu_rg006cn-1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://autonews.gasgoo.com/auto-news/1009959/GM-China-denies-selling-Buick-brand-to-SAIC.html">Gasgoo</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/10/report-gm-china-spokesman-denies-pondering-selling-buick-to-sai/">REPORT: GM China spokesman denies pondering selling Buick to SAIC</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:26:00 EST.
