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.

I agree with you on keeping the G6 rather than the G5 under Pontiac. Isn't the G5 just a rebadged Chevy Cobalt? And I'm thinking it sells alot better as a Cobalt.

Regarding GMC, I do disagree with you on that. A lot of folks forget that the GMC brand is as much a seller of commercial vehicles as privately owned vehicles. I would think that they have some pretty steady sales of vehicles to commercial operations in need of hard-core work vehicles which they probably want to hold on to.
