The Buick GL8 is a minivan sold by General Motors' Buick division in China. Released in 2000, the GL8 is is similar to the Pontiac Montana. Many people tend to think the Buick Terraza was Buick's first minivan, since the GL8 is exclusively sold in the Chinese market. It was redesigned for 2005; however, it has a more aerodynamic and futuristic look than its American and Canadian counterparts, the Buick Terraza, the Chevrolet Uplander, the Pontiac Montana, and the Saturn Relay.
