I think the reason that GM is doing this is because they are dying.
Seriously.
They have what 8 divisions?
Chevrolet
Pontiac
GMC
Buick
Saturn
Saab
Cadilac
and Hummer (oh brother)
Talk about duplication.
Realistically, it should all be boiled down to two.
Honda / Accura
Toyota / Lexus
Nissan / Infiniti
VW / Audi
Ford / Lincoln
Chrysler / Dodge
Coming your way you are going to see
GM / Cadilac
This is merely getting the public ready for what has to be done once GM declares Chapter 11 bankruptcy and re-emerges after a top down re-org, including totally new deals with the UAW.
