Cutting GMC makes sense, but why is GM keeping Saturn? The sales aren't there, and Saturn only sells cars that are basically comparable to Chevrolets. The Astra, as good as it is, is bombing... and so is the Aura. Pontiac is the only branch selling really sporty cars now (G8, Solstice, but the G5 was a huge mistake), other than Chevrolet (Corvette, Cobalt SS Turbo, and future Camaro). It also has a much larger dealer network. GM just needs to make EVERY GM brand as customer friendly as Saturn dealerships, and really really fix the sales and service departments and sales of Pontiac-Buick-GMC. I've not come across a single PBG dealership that was friendly and customer service savvy.
