re-visiting this thread (don't know if you will, Mr.B ), I'm wondering if a large part of your kerfuffling is that the larger Zeta is first & foremost a Buick, while the smaller Z is mainly identitified with Pontiac...
if so
those size & role differences ARE the reasons:
the sportier one = Pontiac
larger/cushier-cruiser = Buick
but because I'm looking at BPGmc+S as one Brand
there are no styling differences (except for grille inserts)
& all top-Lux packages at the Brand are under the "Buick range", while the top-performance trims fall under Pontiacs
(good excuse to re-post)

powered by Pontiac
...
just the top-HP model-trim ( =
kerfuffle) which
would replace all G6's
