Or, you can sell them as Buicks, and make more money. As Pontiacs, they would compete with Chevy. That is not good for either brand or for GM as a whole. That is the problem with Pontiac, it does compete with Chevy, which doesn't make it profitable for GM. Especially since Pontiac turned into an Avis/Hertz favorite.
