Buick to offer buyouts to all U.S. dealers

Buick dealer art_i.jpg — Buick had 1,963 U.S. dealerships at the start of 2022, according to the Automotive News Dealer Census. Only 13 of those were standalone stores — the majority have dual showrooms with GMC — so virtually all dealers who take a buyout likely would continue with other GM brands. (DAVID PHILLIPS)
