When it comes to brand excitement, Buick doesn't jump to the top of the heap. Long noted for building near-luxury cars more akin to Cadillac, Buick hasn't had too many exciting models to brag about down through the years. One notable exception was the Buick Grand National (Regal), but the current Lucerne, and the LaCrosse aren't special cars, though an argument could be made for the brand's crossover, the Enclave.
In China, Buick is a big hit selling twice as many vehicles there then they do in the US. Credit Buick's very good history with keeping the brand's appeal alive - according to GM, Sun Yatsen, who was the first president of what was then known as the Republic of China, took his first automobile ride in a 1912 Buick. The rest is history.
Buick began to produce cars in China in 1998 and quickly became the largest volume brand for GM by the following year. In 2007, more than 332,000 Buick products were sold, an increase of 9.2% over the previous year. Buick sells the Park Avenue, LaCrosse, Regal, Excelle, and GL8 in China, but several concepts have recently been shown including the pictured Invicta (Latin for invincible).
The Invicta is a four door sedan with a roofline similar to a coupe. Powered by a 2.0L I4, this midsize model is likely to represent the direction where GM will be going over the coming years - a smaller, much more fuel efficient model featuring a direct injection turbocharged engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Whereas a V6 would have been used previously, Buick will rely on the I4 for improved fuel economy while still providing very good power (250 hp, 220 lb-ft of torque).
Notable features in the Invicta are its 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, LED interior lighting technology, center console touch pad, wood trim and polished aluminum accents, and four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the second significant Buick concept released this year; the Riviera made its debut in January in China, demonstrating GM's commitment to the market.

Sun Yat-Sen, Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution $83.9 In view of the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution and Sun Yat-sen's relations with the Nanyang communities, the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and the Chinese Heritage Centre came together to host a two-day bilingual conference on the three-way relationships between Sun Yat-sen, Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution in October 2010 in Singapore. This volume is a collection of papers in English presented at the conference. While there are extensive research and voluminous publications on Sun Yat-sen and the 1911 Revolution, it was felt that less had been done on the Southeast Asian connections. Thus this volume tries to chip in some original and at times provocative analysis on not only Sun Yat-sen and the 1911 Revolution but also contributions from selected Southeast Asian countries. |

The Political Thought of Sun Yat-Sen $132 The significance of Sun Yat-sen's political thought has rarely been appreciated though he is hailed as the Father of Modern China. This is the first extended treatment of the subject, which will be invaluable to sinologists and historians of political thought. Dr Wells first traces the development of Sun's revolutionary ideas from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. She then considers the impact of Sun's political thought on Chinese revolutionary leaders and on Third World countries, arguing that it has been considerable. This subject has never before been so widely explored. |
