GM positions Buick as a premium automobile brand in its portfolio, above the mainstream Chevrolet brand and below the luxury Cadillac division, although many vehicles share underlying platforms. In North America, Buick vehicles are typically sold alongside GMC vehicles, another premium marque, at multi-brand dealerships.
