Is GM ready to kill Buick next?
Some buzz in the news about Buicks not selling anywhere but in China, Through the third quarter this year sales are down a 54% having sold 76,547 units compared to 163,745 last year In comparison Chevrolet lost only 3.9 percent, Cadillac is down 0.3 percent, and GMC is down two percent.
GM is also bleeding money with Buick having more dealerships (2000) as compared to say, Toyota (1500) and Nissan (1078). Only Jeep has more dealerships (2,415) but they historically sell 800,000 to 900,000 vehicles annually.
Maybe they should have kept Pontiac after all?
