Yeah, to some Indian car company, I think. Dropping Pontiac, considering selling off Saturn. Now they just need to ditch Buick and switch GMC solely over to commercial trucks (and leave the "normal" trucks to Chevy), and they might be in good shape to recover.

otter i couldnt agree with you more. i never understood why gmc became essentially upmarket chevys.

sucks about pontiac being such an old brand. id like to see the g8 end up with a bowtie on it. not sure why they want to keep buick.
