I’ve read that the most popular and sought after car in China is the GM Buick.

I saw a lot of Buicks over there. The car badges say "GM Shanghai", already acknowledging GM's future world headquarters location. :) There are also a lot of Hyundai and Volkswagen models - more of those than Japanese makes.

But the most sought-after car is the Audi A6L - in black, of course. It's kind of an official staff car for CCP bureaucrats and everybody else wants one to look like a serious player.

That's exactly the description I read about the Buick when I read that it was the most popular car.

Oh well.
