If "success" is solely volume sold... then there are many brands that are more successful than Lexus.

.......including VW and the scandals.

Jill, though, is basically correct. Buick, worldwide, has shown strong growth in the last several years. Here in the U.S., it has been mostly the small Encore SUV, where, in China, they like anything with the triple-shield on it.

Million sales worldwide. I think I saw a GM media press release about that. Just as long as folks understand that over 850,000 of those sales were in China. The Chinese really like Buick so that's actually a good thing for GM. For now GM can bank on that, but as we know the Chinese learn very quickly and you have to wonder how long before they get their own Euro-Buick built in China and branded as something else and much cheaper.
