General Motors Corp. CEO Richard Wagoner says the auto maker's plan to create a Buick-Pontiac-GMC retail channel is working in the U.S.

GM's strategy, going on two years now, is to offer a full line of vehicles through the brand bundling, rather than have single points representing the three vehicle nameplates individually.

“We've tried to encourage the alignment of the Buick-Pontiac-GMC channel,” Wagoner tells Ward's. “That's working pretty well. I think we got 75% or more of our sales of those three brands through the channels that have all three of them.'
