Re: What is the plan at Buick?

Quote:
The plant that builds it is being used to build the Volt by November 2010
Lucerne sold 50K YTD (as of Nov), which is almost as much as the CTS and significantly more than the (cheaper) LaX. The Lu and DTS combined have lost 30-40% sales compared to last year, which is 47,000. I doubt it, however, that Volt would sell even that much - I guess Hamtramck needs both products for some time just to keep going.

I doubt GM would spend the millons required to continue the old-girls and their ever declining sales numbers
GM spent a few dimes on the new grille for the Lu and gets plenty of bucks back from the tired G-body. Just like Panthers, I expect them to continue indefinitely until the customer base dies off.
