I would rather see GM drop Pontiac and Buick then drop Saab. While Saab doesnt have any real market penetration here in the US, over seas its one of GM's top sales leaders.
Pontiac and Buick sell a lot of cars, but there image is becoming very cloudy and there existance is confusing
The LaCrosse offers nothing over the Impala, yet the Buick is priced higher...why? Impala actualy has 3 engines, a 3.5 VVT OHV making 211hp, a 3.9 VVT OHV making 241hp, and the King Kong 5.3 DoD in the SS making 303 hp.
Also, why have the Grand Prix? I can get better motors in the Impala, and they both have the 5.3? Inteiror quality is betteri in the Impala too.
Why have the G6 when the Saturn Aura will do a much better job beating the crap out of the imports? DOHC VVT V6 making 250hp tied to a 6spd auto, with sharp lines and designs that look better then the G6. Why bother having a G6 which is just a Pontiac Malibu?
Vibe? WORTHLESS!!
Solstice, while very sexy, will probably be marked up due to high demand and with the Sky across the road selling for sticker, why bother with some PITA Pontiac sales sleezeball when Saturn will give you the car at the price?
Torrent...Chevy Nox with different front and rear facia. Yippie.
GM had a lot of problems in the 1Q. 4.5 billon wasted on Fiat, and a big hit in car sales didnt help. They gained some of it back by selling there locomotive division.
