I say cut loose Buick to the Chinese and just keep Chevy, Caddy and GMC.<br><br>Make Chevy the passenger vehicle division; GMC the truck/SUV division to include GMC Avalanche etc. and of course Caddy is a Caddy. And please no cross-rebadging with the exception of the Escalade. However do keep the Suburban name because of historical context but rid of Yukon Denali. Bring Saturn Sky into the Chevy family as a Chevy Sky so too is the G8. IT ABOUT TIME! I say cut loose Buick to the Chinese and just keep Chevy, Caddy and GMC.
