Well, I had a super long post all ready then my browser had to close and I lost it all

Basically, Hummer is no longer needed and infringes on GMC. I have no idea what Saturn is supposed to be anymore so I think they could be ditched.

Saab is fairly unique and sells well enough in its home market.

Daewoo forms the bread and butter of sales for GM worldwide, GM would be crazy to kill them off.

Buick is distinct from Caddy in that they are supposed to be classy, elegant, and timeless. Caddy is bold and modern. The two can co-exist.

Pontiac should never share base trim with cars on the same platform in the same market, in those cases let Pontiacs be GT and GXP. This will shift sales to Chevy (or other) for economical models, and give Pontiac a performance image.

GMC will do very well if 3 things happen. 1 get rid of the Hummer brand, perhaps make it a offroad package for GMC's (not sure if that will work: Yukon Hummer edition, oh well). 2 ditch any Cadillac SUV's, the GMC Denali line makes a good substitute. 3 get rid of the duplicates in the following list (my keepers are in bold): Suburban/Yukon XL, Tahoe/Yukon, Colarado/Canyon, Traverse/Acadia, Trailblazer/Envoy. Plus the Sierra, something like the XT concept, and their vans they should do well.
