ELIMINATING SATURN AND PONTIAC?!!!!!!!!!!

That's fookin nuts!!!!!!!!! 

[socalrappy700]

Wow, and saab get the ax too.  Thats crazy that they are getting rid of all three.  But then again, I'm not a fan of any of them.  I just can't see why they are keeping buick around over those three.

I'm with you E.

Buick hasn't been profitable in years.

I would axe Buick or rebadge the better selling models as Chevrolets or low end Cadillacs.

I can see Saturn.. They are big up nort' here cuz' they are cheap, and all plastic so the salty roads don't do crap to em.

But Pontiac, that is a shock to me.. They sell like freaking hot cakes up here. I'd say the cars that own the roads up here are the following:

Chevs Cavalier, Ford's Taurus, and Pontiacs Grand Prix and Grand Am.

Everyday that goes by more of Buick's clientele is dying off.  

[Krandall]

It's really to bad. They have a solid car. But.. They stopped listening to what people wanted years ago.  I love the supercharged beasts though! :grin_nod:

Buick is doing well in foreign markets, so that's the reason GM isn't dropiing it right now.

Really?  I didn't know that.

Our dealer's son told me that today. Apparenlty is doing well in Asia and Europe as a luxury type sedan.

I guess its the whole import factor.  Like BMW here.

Hey ladies. Iam busier than Kyle in a bukkakke video here...and it sux!   Workers laid off til Monday.

And the gm thing...long time coming in my book. Sad, though. Never understood the need for rebadged vehicles in the first place. Sunfire/cavalier/. Grand Prix/Lumina etc. Same hunk o junk with the same damn 3800 v6 or worse the 4 cylinder 2.2...but spend the extra dough for new body panels, dash light colors and plastic?   Same goes for Ford. Chrysler sort of figured it out sooner.

I guess its the whole import factor.  Like BMW here. 

I guess it's the luxury aspect of the car, and how you can buy it thousands less than a BMW (example)

As you and I both know, a Buick compared to a BMW is like night and day. There are some cool gizmos on the newer Buicks, but they are no where near the quality of a BMW.
