From an enthusiast standpoint and US sales at the time, I agreed with you back when the decision was made. However, it is about the big picture and worldwide sales. Just today, I read that
Buick brand’s sales in China rose 19% to a record 1,180,372 units in 2016.
The Regal GS is a fun car but starting to show it's age. We actually leased a 2011 Regal Turbo the first year the came out (before GM shifted production from Germany to Canada) and it was great car made even better after we added a Trifecta Tune. The new 2017 LaCrosse is a very nice car as well. The Buick Encore is not for me but basically created it's own market segment and selling very well. The Enclave is also showing it's age but a new one is coming out 2018 model year. The Verano is being discontinued. The Cascada is a 4-seat convertible with sporty looks (if not sporty attentions) and is perfect for aging baby boomers living in Florida or California. The Envision is a capable mid-size SUV.
