Corporate Intro
BUICK 為 GM 旗下的百年品牌，在美國有著無可取代的經典地位，也獲得多位總統與好萊塢明星之鍾愛，但是卻無法在臺灣市場獲得相同的重視。 BUICK 希望藉由在地化的設計，創造明顯差異化區隔，進而滿足消費者對於量身打造、手工訂製的 BTO 獨特專屬感，重新喚起臺灣消費者對 BUICK 經典品牌定位的印象。

BUICK is a 100-year old brand and a part of the GM family. In the US, it is renowned for producing classic cars that were favored by presidents and Hollywood celebrities. It has, however, struggled to achieve the same level of recognition in Taiwan. BUICK hoped that localized design and differentiation will help create that exclusive hand-built BTO appeal that consumers expect, and re-establish BUICK’s status as a classic brand among Taiwanese consumers

When the DEM team studied the market trends, they found that it was necessary to establish a connection between the luxury mansions familiar to Taiwanese consumers with BUICK’s understated opulence, In order to create a new classic.
A mass production vehicle also had to go through stringent safety reviews and meet the highest quality standards for:
1. Fire resistance
2. UV resistance
3. Impact
4. Glare
Apart from these constraints, DEM also had to take ergonomics, safety and style into consideration when selecting the materials to use or changing shapes.
The result was the total CASA concept that was designed to make a forceful statement on the interior ambience. The design theme was to create a mobile boutique hotel. To extend the concept car’s spatial experience beyond the physical vehicle itself, DEM also designed a series of BUICK CASA themed boutique accessories including user manuals, briefcases and ties. This made BUICK CASA complete brand experience that combined fashionable interior space with fashionable personal accessories.
The design & development process was very challenging because existing safety regulations and mass production constraints made changes difficult. DEM’s dedication to innovation, however, realized an automobile design project that was unprecedented in Taiwan in terms of scope and flexibility. Not only did it successfully integrate the boutique hotel concept into the interior design to create the ultimate in driver comfort, but also developed and made use of special materials, taking the Taiwanese automobile industry to a new level.
This new concept car was unveiled at the start of 2007. It completely overturned BUICK’s reputation for being a staid brand among Taiwanese consumers, and re-emphasized the “New Buick” brand spirit. It also generated a wealth of marketing themes and media interest for BUICK.
