Overall arrogance on GM's led to a drop in many of its vehicle sales. Seems they finally realized that and are striving upward and there are people out there willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I agree with Dave T.

Even their SUVs were up in total for March. Once they add the Enclave and the next gen of cars I think Buick will be doing what cadillac did. So while they may have neglected Buick in the past the turnaround seems to be heading upwards. except Buick seems to be doing well with the lucerne and lacrosse and their car sales did not go down in March.
