It'll be interesting to see the Canadian figures, where this disparity between Pontiac and Buick will be even greater, %-wise, and there was
NO C4C in Canada...
Up there, the Chev dealers still haven't "transitioned" properly to selling Buicks in the numbers previously enjoyed per capita (dealer), while Pontiac sold in numbers very close to Chev.
The "proof" of this will be when you see GMC sales plummet, because Chev stores still prefer selling Silverado and are
NOT stocking GMCs in nearly comparable numbers. A source tells me, where Silverado used to enjoy 55-60% of the Canadian GM Truck sales, that number will balloon to close to 80% ...
