I agree...Buick should stay as a Mercury-esque brand; Pseudo-luxury. I'd hate for it to be given all to China...:(

GMC...I don't know what I think. I'd rather see them gone, and over the years -- regain the market share that will be inevitably be lost. Becuase the one assumption that can be made is that -- if they get stripped of everything but Chevy, Caddy, and Buick; then they're going to lose market share as a corporation.

I was watching CNBC and they said GMC is particularly valuable, as it spins off a lot of profit. I couldn't confirm it but a Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC company should be a strong entity and could be the success story of the ... 10's? 2010's?

Hey Fritz, how about sending some info to your dealerships on the car. All they know is what anyone can find on the net..Shame on you GM.

14,000 people have managed to order the car already so I am just guessing that there are a few dealers out there who know what they are talking about. Have you met CamaroScotty btw?

hmm, have a strong business model, eliminate debt, reduce costs, and build more profitable cars. Great plan and if these ideas are implemented GM won't have any problems. Little catch though, how will it be done? Its easy to say 'this needs to happen' but doing it is a whole other matter.

The dealers have more info than we have access to. Problem is, most don't use it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make 'em drink

Ask them information about cars they have on the lot...they won't have much information about those either. Salesmen are not interested in the cars...they are interested in the suckers that walk on to their lots.
