You could easily make the case to close all the brands down to 2: chevy and a luxury brand- cadillac. You read it all over the net how toyota, infiniti, honda, etc. are doing the 2 brand thing - except toyota who started scion for some dumb reason. Apparently everything detroit does is bad, and everything japan does is perfect - thus how its been for 30 years. This is getting old folks.

All pontiac needs is more cars like the solstice and G8. Cool cars that you actually want! They have the solstice targa coming, just add some more things like that. They need a smaller car, think mini cooper S. They just need unique, youth oriented cars. Cars that are fun, not boring like the G6. Woo, a FWD performance car that looks like a boring 4 door, yeah right. I hate to say it, but we want our cladding back! You stripped that off and left us with typical sedans and coupes. At least the grand am stood out! Not to mention you took away all the names we know - bonneville, grand am, etc. and gave us the G5, G6, the G8- enough with the freaking G's!!!
