Re: GMI Rumor: GM Cutting Another Division?
Everyone knew in the back of their mind this was comming. Which brand would be the easiest... GMC of course, just as the post states. Who needs the Sierra, Yukon, Envoy, Cannyon, Acadia?
I only have one request (okay, maybe two) GM. If you kill GMC, Drop the current Silverado sheet metal and use the Sierra's. The odd buldges all over the Silverado are a little much. The Sierra is tough yet elegant!
Two: make Pontiac a niche brand and offer a small number of performance vehicles. Kill all versions of every model except for the GXP models. Forget the stripped down base model, if I want one of those I will get a less equipped Chevy.
Soltice GXP Coupe/Convert
G5 GXP (Colbalt SS Supercharged)
G6 GXP Coupe/Sedan/Convert
G8 GXP Coupe/Sedan
GTO (Corvette based Coupe)
Notice there is no Vibe, G3, G8 ST, Torrent, or Firebird. You can adjust trim levels to meet different tastes, but make all care PERFORMANCE based GXPs.
Placing Saturn with Pontiac and Buick is a great idea. Saturn=Entry level, the NEW Buick=Mid Lux level, and Pontiac=Performace options!
Maybe GM could go one further and rename Saturn OLDSMOBILE!!! Talk about name recongnition and brining an identity to a brand that has none.
