So either the automotive media doesn't know whats going on, or GM executives are not in agreement yet on a final plan. Either way, I wouldn't call this "official word" from GM at this point.

I trust me I know what you mean I had the same question when I read it. I was thinking hmm 1..2...3...4.. Pontiac? I guess Pontiac doesn't count.
But I think the point is that their goal is to shrink to four brands. That Pontiac is going to stay with these four cars and see just what happens. And that the first ones on the chopping block are Hummer, Saab, and Saturn.
My fiance and I where talking about this and this is what I sent her:

So it looks like GM is cutting out everything other then Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC. BIG mistake if you ask me. I think Cadillac and Buick are close enough that they should merge them into a single luxury class. I think Chevrolet and Pontiac are close enough that they should merge them into one premium class. GMC and Hummer only make trucks and we don't need just truck companies anymore so they should cut them. And I think Saturn should be dropped back to how they started a very cheap car to get the people who are looking for entry class low cost vehicles. I mean let's be realistic the cheapest Saturn today is about $16,000 when competitors are offering entry level cars in the $10,000 range.
Now my rant about Pontiac. What is this about no more G6. I think that is a mistake if you ask me. So you can get a roadster, an economy car, a large sedan, or a wagon? Heck I say drop the G5 in favor of keeping the G6. The G5 is 2 door only, it's not as appealing in features, and the dealers tell me the G5 hardly sells. To me the G6 started showing the redesign of Pontiac and the improvements that they where to be making.
Oh well hope GM knows what they are doing.
