Not sure how Buick makes money these days. They only have three models, two made in Asia and one American made.

Isn't Buick popular in China? (@PotO might know)

 

but this is a smart move by GM. There are too many dealers out there.

At least around here, Buick is normally combined with another GM brand at the same store. One former acquaintance purchased a legacy stand alone Buick store through a minority ownership program the GM had at the time. He ended up selling the franchise back to GM a couple years before the GM bankruptcy. He realized he couldn't compete as a single brand store against all the mega-franchises with multiple brands, and he thought Buick would be the next to fold after Oldsmobile (instead of Pontiac).
