I can see Saturn combined with BPG, but Buick and Cadillac are virtually competitors of each other - they both aim to be luxury brands. Chevy and Caddy go together while SBPG go together.

And I'm a supporter of platform sharing (aka rebadging). I think it brings more GM vehicles to market, gives the consumer more choices, and saves GM money. Like I always say, it not all about Chevrolet sales (or Saturn or GMC or Pontiac, etc), it's about GM sales.
