Article quote:

If you’re shopping for a midpriced sedan, for example, G.M. has six. Buick by itself has two. Toyota, by comparison, has just one—the Camry, which sells nearly as many vehicles each year as all six of G.M.’s offerings combined.

I have said this many times in the past 3 years. I actually think GM should sell SAAB and Hummer it's cheaper that way, merge Saturn and Chevrolet. I would keep Pontiac as the performance brand, which would require some real performance cars, keep Buick for 2 models In the US (Invicta and Enclave). I still don't know why GMC is needed other than to give BPG dealers trucks to sell.
