No - they are car "brands". Chevrolet and Buick were each seperate
automobile companies until they were rolled up into the "General Motors"
(GM), conglomerate.  

After the rollup GM tried to keep the "Brand" identities seperate
by using 'Badge Engineering" = that is selling the same car as
different models under each marque (brand) by changing the trim and
decals(badges).  So you could buy the same car from two or three
different "companies" and pay more for it each time you moved "up" to a 
"Higher status" brand.  

(Of course this is all gross over-simplificationi, its much more complex
than this description, options, marketing etc..)

What does this have to do with Linux ?

   ummm,     err....

   Maybe GM will use RTLinux in its on board systems someday?
   If they aren't already, that is...
