Hmmmm.
On ome hand GM is still a little brand heavy compared to most of the competition.
Consider Seeing Hondas amd Acuras all under just two labels lets a consumer see Honda success compared to having six labels and only seeing evidence of group think half as often.
On the other, I hate to see it go. If it does happen I hope GM ends the second muscle car era with a 8 second 1/4 mile self driving electric GNX.

Kind of like when they took the olds' badges off of the Aurora huh. I just hope it's not enormous like the bowties they're slapping on Chevy grills nowadays.

Oh yeah, clearly better than the close to 100% of people in the U.S. who can actually read, or at least recognize, the word "BUICK"...
Obviously foreign market research, lol! Good work GM!
We'll be down to Chevy/Caddy in no time.....

Buick builds and sells more cars in China than here, and they import some cars back to the US. I don't really see removing the name plate for that market considering history of the marque in that country. Some of Volvo's new cars like S90 Inscription are made there, they claim more humans than robots can produce tighter clearances and more solid feeling quality. We're screwed!

The Feds wanted GM to kill Buick along with Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer as part of the bailout a decade ago. Domestically, Pontiac was outselling Buick in its last year of existence and Buick's domestic sales that year were below where Oldsmobile's had been in 2000 when GM decided to pull the plug. The brand I really can't understand is GMC (aka Generic Made Chevrolet). What's the point of having a mirror truck brand with little or nothing to distinguish between the two?

It seems they're ashamed of their branding or something. Don't see why else you'd try to make your brand less distinguishable.

It's classic GM marketing. They didn't learn a thing from the bailout, haha! Just like the Chevy < Pontiac < Buick < Olds < Cadillac model of old, GMC is seen as an upgrade to Chevy. And envy is a powerful tool... |
