When GM decided to cut back on its product lines, it kept Buick and kicked Pontiac to the curb.
Yet, Pontiac has a much stronger history of innovation and performance. Is GM turning away from these aspects of car marketing?
There is already some evidence that the GM mind set will not go away easily. Their redesigned Equinox is supposed to be a significant vehicle in turning around the future.
Designed to compete against the Honda CRV and other "cute-utes" the Equinox is going toe-to-toe against its competitors on features, but not - by the looks of it - on pricing. You don't have to add much to a 2LT model to end up just south of thirty grand.
Well, back to the original question... why Buick? Are they planning a dramatic reversal of products, as was done at Cadillac? Given the looks of this Regal, some lessons may have been learned. Let's hope that they don't mess it up with bad pricing decisions.
