Buick and Caddy are way different, IMO.
Caddy is for the wannabe-pimp who thinks he's all that.
Buick is for people with very conservative personalities.......Totally different.

Caddilac does very well, has a well recieved design language and lineup with high marks to the CTS, SRX and STS. The Escallade is also "popular".

Buick was known as the car old people bought when they decided they need to buy one last car. It's sales in the US are marginal, its lineup forgetable.

Oldsmobile actually had progressive styling.......

Buick is pretty much Whites only........but Olds snared quite a few Blacks with the Aurora and Intrigue

Neither brand got dick with Asians or Hispanics, though.

Asians blindly follow Asian cars. Just like they blindly follow the Democratic party. lol

Hispancs are very loyal to GM..esp. Chevy. Probably because there are manufacturing plants in Mexico and they are easier to work on.
