Harry:
 
Saturn will go when the "lifecycle" of the product runs it's course....I  
read that date as 2012.
 
Hummer's fate will be decided by 3/31/09...sell or phase out (A couple of  
Chinese companies have expressed interest).
 
Saab has gone thru a "strategic review" and they have decided to sell the  
entire division. The Swedish government has been asked for  financial support 
until a buyer is found. Ford has the same problem with  Volvo.
 
Pontiac will serve as a "focused brand" (GM speak!) with probably 3  
performance type vehicles (just drove our first G-8, GXP....how about a Corvette  that 
carry's 4 people..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
GMC will survive as an upscale truck brand.
 
Buick, Pontiac & GMC will remain as a single unit division.
 
Chevrolet and Cadillac will remain.
 
That will leave GM with 36 nameplates in 2012. A 25% reduction in what we  
have now.
 
Dealers will be reduced from 6,246 now to 4,700 in 2012.
