Probably because Buick bet the farm on China and sells in the US only because they might as well. I don't know a single person who would even consider a Buick. Cadillac and Chevy both sell more interesting vehicles that are far nicer or cheaper or both. Whereas Olds, Pontiac, and even Saturn had good niches to occupy, Buick is just too nice to be a Chevy and not nice enough to be a Cadillac. It's the consolation prize of automobiles. If GM was smart, they'd just admit they screwed up and stop trying to sell Buicks in this country. Hint: Not even my grandmother wants a Buick anymore. GM killed Pontiac just as it was getting good again and doubled down on Buick's life support. FAIL.
