I Wondered Why GM Still Makes Buicks 0
After all, they discontinued Oldsmobile and no one noticed (emphasis added):
One of the main reasons GM has pushed to keep Buick is its popularity in China, the people said. Sales surged almost tenfold from 2000 through last year to 280,255, consulting firm IHS Global Insight Inc. said. . . .
Buyers there coveted Buicks because they were the cars in which Communist Party leaders were chauffeured. Buick sells nine models in the world’s most-populous country, where dealerships include private clubs and other customer perks associated with higher-end luxury brands in the U.S.
Not only that, I learned from the first link that Chrysler discontinued Plymouth and I didn’t notice.
