NAIAS and Buick

[Guest]

Hello All,<P>Got back from NAIAS and I am very positive about GM's future. It obviously wasn't a year for Buick. GM's emphasis was on Caddilac and Chevrolet. But, the good news was that all of Buicks concepts from the last three years were on display. The LaCrosse, Cielo (new color) and the Bengal. It was great to see them all together. When put together like that, you can see that the styling was very consistant thoughout. Hopefully at the 2003 NAIAS, Buick will have a real car instead of the concepts.

I think you have hit the nail on the head- "GM's emphasis was on Cadillac and Chevrolet". I maintain that within ten years, maybe sooner, GM North America is going to be Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GM truck. The Saturn money pit will probably make it, but I don't see Buick or Pontiac surviving (corporate is now positioning Pontiac as the import fighter, and we see what that did for Oldsmobile). They've pretty much had their heads up their collective arse the last 20 years anyway.
