You realize the Canadian market is TINY and Canadians buy predominately small cars which are very low profit for their manufacturers right?
No. I'm stupid.

Very dismal November sales for all automakers, with GM losing 41% of sales compared to last year's.

Killing Buick off would be retarded.
These figures are all easily obtainable. Take two minutes and research before posting.

And by the way, in the last JD Power ratings, that crappy Buick happened to score better than Honda.
Uh, yes it takes two minutes to prove you don't have a clue what you're talking about. YTD Buick has out sold Hummer and Saab.

And in case you had difficult reading I'll point out again that Buick has some decent cars. Actually, it's entire lineup is quite good. The problem is the Buick image, not the cars. Image is what moves luxury cars and the only image Buick has a geriatric white golfer. The entire brand image can be summed up as Lincoln Town Car syndrome minus the hired driver.

I thought I heard that Buicks were selling like hotcakes in China?

Yeah they are considered luxury cars there kind of like a Mercedes here. At least that is what I heard. I rarely see Buicks here so I am guessing they sell more in China.

The auto companies will not publish or communicate this information externally. I think the best you will find is general age/sex targets.

Are you looking for a specific reason or out of curiosity?

Can you point me in the direction where I can find this info?

I am doing a debate in class about the differences of both companies.

You are failing to understand that GM is targetting a global market and different brands have different images elsewhere in the world.
