I can see some of the big three dealers lining up for a Skoda franchise.
Volkswagon is still on track to becoming. The largest car manufacturer on the planet. They did it once in the year before dieselgate I think.

The Buick Envision mid-size SUV is made in China, with mostly Chinese parts. GM's also opening engineering facilities in China. The Envision also has GM's highest J. D. Powers ranking for initial quality.
The last time Frau Putzer got a new car she demanded an SUV. Driving through traffic she saw one she really like the looks of. I, a car guy, didn't know what it was. It turned out to be an Envision. I get special deals on GM stuff. So, I figured this would work out well... until I found out it was built in China. She ended up with a G01 X3 instead.
