Looks like operating 8 brands in 1 market is a bad idea. Though I think it was 10 for a while:

Buick
Cadilac
Chevrolet
Daewoo
GMC
Hummer
Oldsmobile
Pontiac
Saab
Saturn

I'm not sure where Isuzu fit in, I think GM was a 50% shareholder at the time. So call it 10.5 brands in north america in the late 90's / early 2000's.
