this would probably hold true for the G5 G6. and there is probably research to show that many of GMs brands have a specific customer that more then likely would not move to another GM brand.

but some (which may be very few) would move to a chevy niche convertible model (camaro) if pontiac no longer offered a convertible niche model (solstice). rather increase another GM niche product by a small tick or two then lose big time on each kappa as stated.

GM cant keep building everything for everybody. a lot of programs are going to have to give very soon before the whole company implodes on itself from continued losses.
