Hey there! So, you're curious about Buick in the Forza world? Awesome choice. Buick's got a pretty long history in racing and making some cool cars that show up across the Forza series. They're an American manufacturer that's been around forever, pretty much in every main Forza title except for the original *Forza Horizon*. They're even slated to show up in *Forza Horizon 6*, so they're definitely a brand to keep an eye on. ### A Little History Buick's story goes way back to David Dunbar Buick, a Scottish immigrant who started making engines in 1899 and built his first car in 1902. The company officially got going in 1903 and was later snapped up by William Durant, the guy who founded General Motors. By 1908, Buick was already a huge deal, making around 8,000 cars a year – more than anyone else back then! They were pioneers with the overhead valve engine and even had a racing team with Louis Chevrolet. All those early wins and their reputation for being reliable really cemented Buick's place in racing. They were the first brand under the General Motors umbrella in 1908. Fast forward to the mid-1920s, and they were churning out over a quarter-million cars annually! Things got a bit tough during the Great Depression, but stylish new models in 1936, thanks to GM's design chief Harley Earl, brought them back in a big way. During World War II, Buick was busy building aircraft engines and military vehicles. The 1950s were a boom time for them, with big, stylish American cars. Then, in the '60s and '70s, they shifted gears, introducing smaller, lighter, and more innovative cars with V6 engines. The '80s and early '90s saw Buick really lean into racing again, even building engines for the Indianapolis 500 and creating performance cars with turbocharged V6s, like the legendary 1987 Regal GNX muscle car. Buick is still a major player in General Motors today. ### Buick Vehicles in Forza Buick has brought some seriously cool rides to the Forza games.
