I listen to autoline detroit where they interview division managers. He're what I know:

Bob Lutz said pontiac sold more than buick but buick had more of a fixed, stable market and momentum in China was high. He wanted Pontiac to be a high performance brand but the board said no.


- The division head of Buick said there are no plans to bring back the Grand National at the moment but they talked about it. Their focus is improving what they have now.


I understand. Remove R&D from Pontiac and focus on making what you have better. Nastalgia is nice but good cars sell. Not rebadge engineering.
