I forgot to add that GM should sell Saab or do something else with it (have you noticed lately that more and more Saabs share the Chevrolet parts bin?), and dissintigrate Saturn (most Saturns would fit in the Chevy lineup).

Honda does very well with just 2 nameplates. As well does Toyota (well, 3 now I guess). I always wondered in the first place why GM had up to 9 divisions at one point.

When I had my first car, a 1985 Buick Regal, the driver's door rusted out. I went shopping for a door at local junk yards, when to my surprise, I found the same exact door was on the Olds Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Chevy Monte Carlo. I remember thinking the only thing differentiating these cars is front and rear end treatment and the badge on the trunk lid. Hell, if you wrecked your Regal and you needed a front end clip in a pinch, the damn clip from a Grand Prix would bolt right on. :chuckles:
