I really hope GM reorg can get them out of this mess and get back to building good cars.
I think the wake up call is there now, at least.
My take:
For north america:
*Keep
Caddy as the Luxury Brand
Saturn as Appliance Brand
Chevy as Performance Brand
GMC as Truck/SUV Brand
Dump:
Buick(North America),Hummer,Saab
*Move all trucks/SUV/CUV/van/minivan from all other brands to GMC. Eliminate brand engineered duplicate trucks/suv/cuv. Eliminate platform shared duplicates.
*Move buick lucernce and lacrosse to caddy brand.
(Get rid of the stupid names). Eliminate the XLR, the Escalade, SRX.
*Move pontiac G8 to Chevy brand.
*Remove duplicate brand engineered Pontiac/Chevy/Saturn small and mid size cars and move to Saturn brand.
*Keep Opel in GM europe
*Keep Buick/Caddy in China
*Focus on bringing opel design to the rest of the small/mid segment in NA.
