I never understood the reasoning behind giving Pontiac the ax and keeping Buick? It seems like there were way more Pontiacs being sold compared to Buick?
Here 63% (I think can't remember the exact number) of GM's customers are over the age of 55, that's why they kept Buick.Originally Posted by Fasglas

But did they sell more Buicks or Pontiacs? I'm pretty sure I've always seen more Pontiacs on the road around here.
I guess Chevy and Pontiac were somewhat the same and possibly competed for the same market. But if they were selling good numbers of both, IMHO money talks.
well maybe GM stocks will go back up since both my parents work for them and of course are invested. that would be nice!
EDIT: and since they axed pontiac ya bout can't damn near get one financed

GM sells more buicks globally than any other brand they own. over seas, buick is their cash cow.

i do believe buick shares more common platforms with GM than pontiac does. another reason they might have kept buick.

GM no longer owes any debt to the government but the US government still owns 61% of the company, Canadian government owns 11%, I think the UAW owns at least another 15%. The got many billions more in bail outs than what they had to repay. The respective governments took an equity stake for that as opposed to a loan that had to be repaid.
So still Government Motors unfortunately.
