I think the car looks OK, but I really think they killed off the wrong division. Pontiac with a marriage of some of the Saturn lineup should still be here, and Buick should have hit the scrapheap or been sold....China's enthusiasm for the the brand notwithstanding. The LaCrosse could have easily been a Poncho as the brand rings more bells with the younger crowd.

No one under 55 buys a Buick, and those that do, wish they could've ponied up and bought a Caddy DTS or similar. Buick has made some cool stuff, but that was very long ago (GN's).

All I can say is thank goodness for the Camaro, that kind of design and style should be prevalent all through the GM line to make them different enough from the blob sedans out there that people will want to try them. People look at the new Camaro and say "thats the Chevy I remember" when their style led the world.

Probably wrong on this, but I think it sprouts a healthy debate as to what GM should be doing to survive and prosper. I wish them the best.
