Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?

Buick is pointless, the average owner's age is like 70. Why keep Buick around as there is no salvaging that brand like they did Cadillac?Is GM planning on selling Saab, or just killing it? And honestly, why are they keeping Buick around?Buick is doing great. Look at the new Enclave. That car had over 8500 orders before its dealer debut. Plus, Buick really is not a large auto group; it is mostly sold at dealers that sell GMC's and Pontiac's.



Saab on the other hand should really be sold. It seems as if GM has just put them aside and waited for them to rot. The 9-3 is good, but it is slow, unreliable, and somewhat expensive. The 9-5 is ugly, expenisve, does not use top-notch materials, and has an I-4 Engine in the class of V6's, and some V8's. It is okay to use the components of one car to make another if it is a good car to start, but when you take a subpar Chevrolet Trailblazer and put a Saab Logo on it and slap an extra $15,000 to the price tag, it will be bad. That is sadly what GM did to the 9-7x.



In other words, Saab is a helpless case, but Buick is doing pretty good. Their Three Models all share components with other cars and do not need a separate factory. plus, they are booming in Asia.

Saab would be better off if GM sold it, but I think they are too far gone to be saved, even with Subaru's help.
