The problem with Pontiac is that it has many brand loyalists who would say screw the general if they axed it. I'm sure closing down Saturn would alienate some buyers but probably not as many as killing a long established brand like Pontiac. I know a few people who would turn to Toyota/Honda/Ford if Pontiac were closed, I can't say that about any other Gm brand.
