Buick has been the best of the bunch for quality, something that Detroit
could use a little more of.


It's my understanding that Buick will be kept. It is considered one of
GM's "core" brands, along with Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC. Pontiac
will be shrunk to a niche brand, and Saturn, Hummer, and Saab will be
gone.


GMC = Trucks
Chevy = Low end vehicles
Buick = Mid-level vehicles
Cadilac = High end vehicles.

Everything else should be thrown in the crapper.


Wow! If only they had come to you first for advice...a lot of grief could
have been avoided.

Indeed...the Big Three should have flocked to BAR for his economic and
marketing expertise, and his ability to guard the outhouses when he was
stationed stateside in the marines.
