I don't see why each GM brand needs to have a full line. Pontiac should not go beyond mid size cars, kill the Grand Prix, kill the Aztec (along with everyone responsible for the design :>) ) kill the Montana, kill Bonneville a 4 door GTO which is a but smaller but with the same engine will replace Bonneville and Grand Prix and it will be REAR WHEEL DRIVE. The goal of Pontiac will be to line up against Honda and Toyota cars, with a performance edge.
Buick, kill all except Le Sabre and Lucerne. Rendevous will need to be restyled and reengineered, way to much or a badge job. Even old, senile people can see right through it. Le Sabre will be the anchor vehicle, and will be a "soft" luxury car.
Saturn - Will sell only GM Europe products WITH MINIMUM CHANGES TO MEET REGS!!! AND I MEAN MINIMUM!!!
Chevy - Will sell full line unchanged, but styling will be considerably bumped and ancient 3.4V6 will be killed. and replaced with proper V6.
Chevy trucks will be killed, all GM dealers will sell GMC range if they want to carry trucks.
So much to do....this company is sooooooo screwed up.
