But of course I owned an Aztek an loved that stupid thing even though it was ugly!! LOL!
very simple -- if you're losing money - it does not matter how many cars you build - you're losing money on each one.

As to why Buick remained and Pontiac/Saturn disappeared?

Pontiac and Saturn were losing money. Buick was not (premium price) -- plus as my friend from Ohio points out -we sell many many more in China than we do the United States.
