GM could make Buick a China only deal and drop it in the rest of the world.
There wasn't a single Buick model that sells well enough to keep it alive in the US when they killed Pontiac. This is still true today. Today's Chevrolet's will cover the low end Buick buyer and the high end Buick buyer can move up to Cadillac.
Truck wise, combining the GMC and Chevrolet truck lines would allow GM to kill the myth that the Ford F series is the best selling pickup. Decide on a brand name (General, Chevolet/GMC, etc), model name (something fresh) and use the Denali designator for the high end.
Full size truck sales for 2021:
GM - 768,698
Ford - 726,004
And last year wasn't the first time this was true.
