Buick/Pontiac bye bye!

I saw this a few days ago. After Lutz said it, other GM execs backpeddled like hell saying it wasn't true.

What GM needs to do is get rid of them all except Chevy. Then make one full-size truck, one full-size sedan, one sports car, ect. Just one model for each segment and then make each of those models the very best they can! This 20 different brands thing they're still trying to do is outdated, and has been since the 70s.

Kate,

I know what you're saying Kate. Okay, maybe keep Chevy, Caddie, Hummer, and maybe Pontiac. But Saturn? They're entry level. That's Chevys market. GMC. What the heck is that? Trash that one. Saab is a waste. That's Caddies market. Speaking of which, Buick is another one that should go. Have an upscale premium Chevy sedan and then a low cost Caddie to fill Buick's gap. Pontiac could maybe be [finally] the performance division. Pontiac would have the GTO, the upcoming

Bottom line GM is hurting, bad. They need to get down to a core instead of playing around like they have for the 20+ years hoping Toyota, Honda, BMW, ect. are just temporary. What they've been doing is trying to hold onto the past as long as possible. All the similiar shared models is a big waste of money. They need make the cuts they know they have to make, or will have to make, and be done with it.
