G.M.’s biggest problem, however, is its unwieldy collection of eight brands—Cadillac, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Saturn, Saab, G.M.C., and Hummer.

Oops, the author goofed a bit. I'll fix it for him:
G.M.'s biggest problem, however, is its unwieldy bureaucracy replete with incompetent managers who couldn't manage a brand if their careers depended on it and who have zero accountability for their past failings.
It's funny, GM will be shaving divisions-since the market allegedly cannot support them-yet we will see the market welcome new [read: better managed] foreign nameplates arrive on this shore in the coming years. Many of them will somehow find success despite having lesser budgets and zero brand image in this country. Fancy that!
