General Motors has boosted its presence in Asia by signing a deal to export the Buick Enclave to China over a four-year period beginning in 2008.
The deal is worth more than 800 million dollars. The move will send 5,000 of the luxury crossover SUVs to China per year.
The Enclave is built at GM's Delta Township assembly plant near Lansing.
GM is the market leader in China. It sold more than 877,000 vehicles there last year.

Um, Karl, the Enclave is built in Lansing. And if GM, which is in the business to make money, can make more money by moving plants overseas, then they're going to do it. Perhaps the strikers should think about that when they're begging for "job security." Michigan has the highest unemployement rate in the country. The UAW members here should be thanking their lucky stars to have a job. Their jobs pay way above market price. They definitely get paid more than many of the salaried workers at the plants. If the strikers want job security, work hard, be willing to compromise and shut up. The company, in the past, has shared its profits with the Union. It will do it again, but there will be no profits if the Union continues acting like entitlement whores.
