The only question then is what to do with Buick? is it really an issue of keeping Buick any more? We already have the luxury division... What purpose does Buick have now a days? there is the Chevy brand; good quality at a good price. The Pontiac performance division. The Cadillac Luxury division... Does GM really need to keep Buick around if the platforms are going to be consolidated like this?

Yea, not having any overlapping models is the right way to go but GM seems not to be getting that. If caddy continues its march into the true lux and ultra luxury class then buick can survive as a entry level lux brand. They can compete against acura, infiniti and some of the lexus models.
