This is what I have suggested from the beginning and it is a change for them to reduces overlap, because now you can't have the Aura and G6 on the same dealership now can you, unless you gave one a sporty engine and the other an efficient engine, but you wouldn't have both with the same engine thusly no overlap.
.
1. All gm's cars need 2 need efficient to compete.
2.Aura & G6 could survive together with different tech, comfort and styling.
3.Three brands are 1 too many:would involve cutting a lot of models with little in return.
4.Agreed, Pontiac needs sporty but not Chevy remakes; Asian styled sporty.
5.There's no reason why Pontiac can't have something similar too Scion Tc,Mazda 3 & 6.maybe even Asian style Firebird cut Solice.
