I also think selling Saab would be a good move as well. The dealer networks should be:
Chevy-Pontiac
Buick-Cadillac
If gas prices get better in the future then bring back GMC, but I don't see why they have two versions of trucks/SUVs at GM anyway. I love GMC's over Chevy, but if takes cutting them to save the entire company, then go for it.

Thanks, I'm glad you agree. I think that having more retail outlets would make Pontiac a better business case, but I'm sure others will disagree. Plus, if Pontiac would get even HALF of the $18 BILLION investment that Saturn has gotten since its inception, then Pontiac would be sitting pretty right about now.
GMC is a great brand - but like I've stated elsewhere, it would be far better for GM to not reinvent the wheel. I'd rather have a healthier GM than see the whole company sink to keep one or two divisions alive.
