antp ◊ 2006-08-16 10:18	philr >> all these country that you give, they are location of production plants? Even if the car is built in Mexico, it is still a US car, as far as I know, as it is sold in USA and part of the US Buick catalog -- Last edit: 2006-08-16 10:19:04

Even if the car is built in Mexico, it is still a US car, as far as I know, as it is sold in USA and part of the US Buick catalog It's also a part of the Canadian Buick catalog and it's sold here but it's not a Canadian car... This model is built in Mexico and only there... Are the Fords built in Germany or England also considered US cars? After all, they were made by Ford which is an american company and some of them were also exported to the US: the Consul, Cortina, the Capri (this one was even rebadged as a Mercury!) does this makes them US cars? In Canada and in the United States, the Opel Kadett and GT were known as Buick-Opel as they were imported by Buick dealers. They were made by GM which is an American car maker, and they were part of the Buick catalog! Were they US cars?? I don't think so -- Last edit: 2007-08-18 19:55:09 (antp)
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-08-18 06:56	Well the German Fords sold in US have Germany as origin and it's made for the USA. The Rendezvouz would be USA as origin just because it was designed by and for North America.
philr ◊ 2006-08-18 08:01	I think that the actual way to tell the origin is quite confusing. To me, it should where the car was built. If we consider the market for which it's designed, this could mean many countries. For example, this Buick Rendez-Vous is also sold in Taiwan and Canada but not where it is built, in Mexico... Think about it, How do you tell the origin of these cars: Toyota Cavalier (a rebadged Chevy Cavalier for the japanese market). A Chevrolet Prizm, a rebadged Toyota Corolla assembled in the US and sold by Chevy dealers. A Buick Royaum, a car with a US brand, sold only in China, made in Australia by Holden which is owned by the American company GM (but it's not available for the Australian market) -- Last edit: 2007-08-18 19:55:46 (antp)
garco ◊ 2006-08-18 08:10	No direct link to the images?
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-08-18 08:42	That red Buick looks nice. Origin would be Austrailia and made for China. The Prism is Japanese made for America. And the Cavalier is American rebadged for the Japanese market. We've also got some Ford Taurus made for Japan/Austrailia (modified with RHD and a handbrake). There's also the Focus, which is European and made for the US market. Even the Crown Victoria is American despite being assembled in Canada. The Camry is Japanese, but some are specially made for the US market (which are also assembled in USA). I don't think there's really a set rule for it, but it's more of a feeling. There's a lot of gray areas.
antp ◊ 2006-08-18 10:32	I converted last picture to a thumbnail, it was very big And I agree with qwerty_86

There's a lot of gray areas. This is strange, a Buick that is made in China for the Chiniese or Taiwan market is Chinese, one that is made in Australia for the Chinese market would have Australian origins but one that is made in Canada or Mexico for the Canadian or US market isn't Canadian or Mexican? Now, I hope you won't tell me this car is American?!
appassionato ◊ 2006-08-18 19:18	Really strange, yes. Anyway I agree with qwerty.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-08-19 07:21	Nice Pontiac. The '60s were a nice time for large cars. Here's what I'm thinking. The red car is actually a Holden, right? Were't those designed for the Austrailian market? Well, they rebadged it and called it a Buick to sell in China. That means it's an Austrailian car made for the Chinese market. About the Canadian/Mexican cars. Most are designed for the American market. Let me use as an example the Chevy Corsica and Pontiac Tempest. The Corsica would be an American car made for America primarily. The Tempest would be an American car made for the Canadian market primarily. There's a lot of gray area here because you could argue that because the Tempest isn't sold in America, it's a Canadian car made for the Canadian market. There's that gray area. It's where we'll have the discussion. I really don't like the origin being where it was assembled because there are a lot of Japanese cars being built in America, but hardly anyone would consider them to be truely American because they were really designed with short and skinny people in mind.
Bravada ◊ 2007-10-16 01:15	I fail to see the logic. If made in Mexico, then country of origin is Mexico. IIRC, VAM's have country of origin idicated as Mexico, even though (with the exception of Lerma) they were designed by an American company for the USDM primarily, as one could argue.
Reelcheeper ◊ 2010-06-05 18:40	This is a 2002-2003 model because it has the amber turn signal lights.

CougarTim ◊ 2018-05-19 20:09	2003 only - orange turn signals + satellite radio antenna (first available in 2003)
mike962 ◊ 2018-05-19 20:10	almost as bad as AZTEC...
opal ◊ 2018-05-19 20:37	It was infact a luxury version of the Aztek.
