More GM news

It's one thing when Internet crazies (bloggers) post their theories about GM's slow downward spiral but when the Wall Street Journal joins the fray, people start to pay attention. Jalopnik has a post commenting on the WSJ article that talks about which brands GM should ax, here's my opinion.

• Hummer - This one is a no brainer, try to find ANYONE willing to pay money for this loser and dump it. If you cant sell it kill it.
  
• Saab - I doubt there is anyone that would be willing to pay money for Saab but it still needs to die. Maybe Toyota could buy them for a much needed personality injection.
• Saturn - Never understood why GM needed Chevrolet Version 2.0 in the first place. Kill the Aura, its buyers will just go buy a Malibu since it's the same damn car. The Sky is a much better looking version of the Solstice but its still the same damn car. The Outlook and the Vue are clones of other GM products so no loss there either. Slap a Chevy badge on the Astra and call it a day...good riddance.
• GMC Truck - Serves no purpose any more, just add it's "trim levels" to existing Chevy truck lines.
• Buick - This is a tough one. Buick serves a very unique market that isn't really touched by any other GM marque, even Cadillac serves a different niche from Buick. However, I see more and more old people driving KIAs and Hyundais these days so how much longer can Buick survive.
• Pontiac - Again, I think Pontiac has a unique enough product basket to justify its existance.
