3. Cadillac/Saab

If GMC stays:

1. Chevy
2. Pontiac/Buick/Saturn/GMC
3. Cadillac/Saab


or:

1. Chevy(base cars/trucks/CUVs)
2. Pontiac/Saturn/GMC (mid-level cars/trucks/CUVs)
3. Saab/Buick/Cadillac (premium cars/CUVs)

Obviously all options would eliminate overlap and unneeded models. My vote would be for option 1.

My vote would be for option two.

1. Chevy
2. Pontiac/Buick/Saturn/GMC
3. Cadillac/Saab

Chevy and Cadillac/Saab needs no explanation

PBSG would keep all of the badges and be operated as one brand "PBSG". Each Badge would have a different "flavor"

Buick....low key luxury version of the shared platforms
Pontiac....performance version of the shared platforms
Saturn......everyday thrifty version of the shared platforms
GMC......anything that looks or acts like a truck

The styling difference may be minimal between the badges. More like the Buick Regal and Buick Grand National. Under my idea Buick would have the Regal and Pontiac would have the Grand National and would look no different than they did back in the day.
