DELTA TWP. - The first Buick Enclave came off the line this morning at General Motors Corp.'s new assembly plant here.
The crossover vehicle - a sort of mix between a traditional car and a sports utility vehicle - joins the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia in production at the Lansing Delta Township plant.
Workers will be ramping up production to about 100 of the new Buicks a week by next week, GM spokeswoman Heidi Magyar said. That will put production at the plant at about 750 vehicles a week. The production output was previously reported incorrectly.
Hopes are high among dealers and GM officials for the Enclave. Sales of Outlook and Acadia are exceeding expectations, officials have said.
"A lot of young people are exicted about this Buick," said Jerry Metts, an hourly worker in the plant's quality area.
That could bode well for the Buick line, which traditionally hasn't been popular among people in their 20s and 30s.
