This leaves Saab and Hummer. With Opel moving upscale to make room for Chevrolet, Saabs really are becoming IKEA-ized versions of GM's worldwide platforms. We all may want to like Saab. We may want to think they are quirky and hip, but they never have sold enough to exist. As for Hummer, the H1 is gone and the H2 is going. That leaves a rebadged Colorado with big wheels and bad aerodynamics. It is finished.
So, sell Saab and close Hummer, and GM will have gone from 16 brands to 5 (with a few extra labels). I say that is enough.

Or the new Allure in Canada thanks to some weird name-games in French
And besides a new Allure/LaCrosse, a new Riviera/Wildcat based on the Alpha would be nice.
And for Saab, I wonder if Renault is still interested. I digged the net for old rumors from 2005 about this
