And suddenly I disagreed with you. With the lack of GMC, Saturn (sold as a "Prius" hybrid brand, as you stated), Buick, Saab and Hummer, it leaves Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac. Having only 3 brands would allow GM to have 3 full lineups, of better cars.

Chevy, as is.
Pontiac: Uplevel Chevy
Cadillac: Luxury

GMC is heavy duty trucks, paired with Chevy dealers
Saturn is hybrid
Buick is Luxury in China, only, they can't say they are killing the brand, they are just pulling it out of the US, so would GM have to pay as much as with Oldsmobile?
