Too many bean counters and non auto guys running GM have ruined the company. They went after the SUV when profits were huge and they let their car lines lag... while the japanese kept improving their cars, restyling them in quick short cycles. Case in point... Cadillac Eldorado... they sold the same car for almost a decade, then blamed the market wasn't there anymore. It was there... just who wants to pay top dollar for a 10 year old design! GM again got Pontiac to get rid of their trademark series, (Bonneville, Grand Am, Sunfire,) and now are G with a number attached. They did this in the 80's with the A6000 and the J2000... like Pontiac was an Audi. It failed then.... and this G thing will fail also.

Get some fresh, new innovative styling cues and stop putting the same grill on all the cars. And do it to all the other car divisions. Cadillac is a prime example... it's a hot car... GM needs a modern day Harley Earl or Bill Mitchell and get their remaining divisions their own unique looks.
