They'll keep both Pontiac and GMC alive- if that's what you can call it. Gas prices are dropping, more hybrids are selling (non-GM that is), the Volt and similar cars are coming, etc. So what's the damage in having the G8 around? It's one of, what, 3 RWD cars.
The main problem is that GM has no money. Alpha would have been great for Pontiac. And so would a Firebird be. To have Canada build the Camaro and nothing else would be ridiculous.
Saturn would go into the BPG channel

The Cruze is on Delta II.
