My 2 cents.

Chevy dealers
Cadillac dealers
Pontiac-Saturn-Buick-GMC dealers

Pontiac could let go of their G3-G5 FWD stuff, Torrent etc.... and have RWD cars, G8 and Alpha (i think it's that name) RWD compact (call it the pursuit.. why not?)
Saturn would have the "bread and butter" volume stuff in those dealers
Buick has the luxury (with the upcoming buick cars, you can call them luxury)
GMC the trucks (because yes, gas prices will go down, and yes, the economy will do better soon).

For years I have thought GM could do something about a standalone saturn brand, which would be different from the whole GM mentality. nearly 2 decades after, management must realize they can't meet the initial goal of that brand.

IMHO, Saturn must be merged with Pontiac, in order to "cleanse" the excitement division from stuff like the actual G5, the Torrent and the Wave (G3).
