The irony in your insipid argument is that the LaCrosse is often criticized for two things: low head room, especially in the rear seat and a small trunk for a car of its class.

Oh yes, it makes so much sense to keep a brand alive that sold a crapload of units to fleet, sold unprofitable, rebadged cars, and had no overseas market as opposed to a brand that sells cars at a premium and has a thriving and vibrant overseas market.

Go find one of the few remaining Cobalts on a dealer lot, sit in it, poke the materials, then go to a Buick-GMC dealer and sit in a LaCrosse, then come back and tell me the Cobalt is a better car.

Even GM executives admit the Cobalt was a terrible car.
Name one GM executive the Cobalt called it “terrible".

Like Buick isn't guilty of rebagging. The Enclave is an Acadia. Which looks like a modern AMC Pacer.

I never said it was better. I said "Cobalt SS will run circles around the current crop of
Buicks. In performance and looks."




The slight decrease in the age of Buick ownership is an anomaly and at 65
it's right where the baby boomer market is. 1946- 1964. It's will be increasing again if they don't start building something that the non 65 yearolds will drive .
