GM can cut models without cutting brands. They just havent shown the guts to do so.

This is 2008, not 1968.
Division overlap is breaking GM's back.
If GM can focus on product/marketing for just two brands (Chevy/Cadillac) they have a chance at survival. Building every flavor of platform to suit every taste is a losing proposition, and the profit numbers for the last decade bear this out.
