GM killed Oldsmobile and Pontiac. Buick is their key to China.

How does a merger with Ford help GM if it means selling Buick and GMC (as mentioned in the article)?

While GM may have a future as a standalone car company over the next decade, Ford does not. Its market cap is down 42% over the past five years, while GM's is close to flat.
I grew up in a Ford household but never owned one myself. I've always thought that GM products were better. A merger with Ford would certianly mean killing the Camaro, because Mustang has better brand recognition, even though it is not the better sport car.
