With Jeep, there won't be need for Hummer
So, if GM aquires Chrysler and axes Saturn, Hummer, Saab and Pontiac, they'll actually be left with one less brand - that is 7 brands. Ain't that amasing?
They'll just replace brands like Saturn and Pontiac which are fine and all, but they don't quite sell much if any with more potent brands like Chrysler and Dodge.
If Chrysler would get Opels, I bet sales would take off and sell 3 times more than Saturn. Pontiac is no better than Saturn to sell Opels, but Chrysler is.
And then, there could be a dealer network merger. No need for two full dealer networks . Replace two GM,Chrysler dealers in the same area( Avery likely scenario) with a single more efficient one. Both owners (now co-owners) would win.

i thought saturns were rebadged opals in america. So it makes no sense that dodge gets opels. I think gm needs to only have three divisions and brands. GMC (Chevy renamed GMC like how Toyota has Toyota) Buick and Saab. Kill the rest. Then if gm merges kill buick and use chrysler, then merge dodge and jeep into one called AMC and then keep the new gmc.
