GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - Which GM Brand(s) Do You Think Should Get The Chop?

Why didn't I include Saab as a Poll option? Because Saab is a wholly-owned, independent company of General Motors based in Europe (where the majority of it's sales lie) just like Opel and Vauxhall, unlike GM brands Buick, GMC, Pontiac, etc, in North America. The same thing applies with Mazda and Volvo to Lincoln and Mercury in the Ford empire. Apples and Oranges.

GM selling Saab is a totally seperate issue to GM sending another of it's North American brands to join Oldsmobile in car heaven, and that's why the question is 'Which GM Brand(s) Do You Think Should Get The Chop?
