Re: GM: Time to Consolidate
While I agree with killing pontiac and definitely Hummer, I disagree with Saab.
First, they provide a great deal of engineering expertise to GM as a whole. With engines downsizing and headed towards smaller displacement and turbocharging, GM needs the Swedes. Saab codeveloped the ecotec with Opel and Detroit. I'm guessing since GM's 4 cyls pretty much blew before, the europeans helped a great deal with this.
Secondly, GM europe is making money, and Saab is very close to making money as well ( i've read). Why kill it now? GM North America is the problem child. Saab's about to roll out several new models as well
