We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

The reason buick will survive in the US is because of how strong buick is in china. China will design and build buicks for their own market and the US. GM can then save $$ designing buicks just for the US.
