I agree with ponchoman49 and IMPALAon20s: Buick's and Saturn's dismal showing of late is related to subpar products.
I imagine that in the second half of this decade, when I know GM will produce a variety of Velite-like coupes, roadsters, and sedans (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), Buick's story will be much different.
Incidentally:
"...Wagoner declined to comment on first-quarter profit, but analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial estimated GM's earnings fell to about $949 million, or $1.79 a share. Excluding a gain from an asset sale and results from its former Hughes Electronics unit, profit was $1.84 a share in the year-ago period."
Oops, Wall Streets experts kinda blew this one. GM just announced today that it earned $2.25/share in the first quarter, versus the consensus of $1.78/share.
