Does anyone know why GM would sell Saturn but discontinue Pontiac? Why not sell Pontiac is my question. I also don't understand why Buick being a big deal in China means it has to exist anywhere else. I also don't understand why GMC stays at all. Considering this is an exercise in overlap reduction...what exactly does GMC do? Slightly more luxurious than Chevy but not as much as Caddy? Make the top end Chevy model equivalent to the GMC and you're done, no?
