Should Buick have a fullsize?
When the GMT 900 and 910s are redone should Buick get a Tahoe sized SUV?
Also should they get a fullsize truck?
Post reasons why or why not.
I my stance they should get a fullsize SUV because they are expanding into the SUV market. I think it could support a extended or crew cab only truck with AWD only, but I think a fullsize Buick would compete with GMC.
Note you can vote for more than one option.

Im thinking Full size cars...to which...YES. A nice Zeta car, but I think that a very bold Velite like car, with suicide rear doors...something that would really set it apart from the boring mundance 300

GM has too many models and too many divisions
You should ask a few questions before whoring out another GM platform:
SHOULD Buick do it? Is it right for the brand? Is it consistent with the identity of Buick? - I say no it is not.
How many would you sell and where would these buyers come from? - I would guess that 75% of the sales would be from buyers who would have purchased a GM product anyway, leaving you with 25% conquest sales (and thus your improved profitability).
Will the profit generated from the conquest sales exceed the development, marketing, and manufacturing expenses? - I doubt it.
Could that development and marketing money be used in another way that would return more to GM from the investment? - Yes, I think so.

.Thats what I was thinking before entering the thread. Buick and Chevrolet need a full-size RWD V8 car.

I think that GMC's SUVs would be in the same spot a fullsize buik suv would be in. Above a Chevy, but below a caddy. Thats just my opinion. Give them a nice pimpin full size Zeta 
. And then maybe a nice coupe to go along with it, IE Velite.
