Again that's another factor that GM needs to consider. Either way when GM decides to close a brand, some sales will be lost permanently, but what's better, poor product and all the brands intact, or good product, but losing a few brands in the process? Like I said earlier, this isn't exactly a 'no-brainer' decision.
