I didn't have to finish reading the title of this thread before I knew who posted it!

That was my thought at first too, but I quick look at the numbers show that Saturn out sold Buick in the US by 29% in 2007 and by 37% in 2008. The higher volume along with a younger demographic would imply that Saturn is the one to keep. I suspect that the real reason is related to a higher margin on the Buick, along with a perceived growth market for the Buick brand in China (where it is very highly regarded).

So why don't they just sell Buicks in China and keep Saturn or Pontiac to sell to everybody in this country who doesn't have one foot in the grave and another foot on a bannana peel. Sounds like things STILL haven't changed enough over at GM. Lexus buyers won't buy anything with a Buick nameplate, even if it is a rebadged half price Mercedes.
