Chevy should always continue to make bread and butter cars, and have the largest line up because they are the most popular/well known brand GM has.
Pontiac should have 4-5 cars, and EVERY SINGLE ******** ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BE FAST!! They need to aim for the Mazda to Inifity crowd, everything from sporty affordable compacts like the Mazda 3, to a G35 RWD sedan and coupe. Make the G6 more like the Nissan Altima with hipo V6, and bring in a G8/GP replacement that is RWD, but very nimble with V6 and V8 option.
Buick needs to take on the luxury end and follow almost exactly what Chrysler is doing. LaCrosse is nice, Luceren is eh...but a Velite like vehicle is NEEDED! Throw in a new crossover SUV to battle the likes of teh RX330, and bam.
GMC...stick tight to what you got. GMT900 will be ariving this year, and is gunna be blowing doors off Ford, Dodge and Nissan.

tell me again why you dont work for gm?
in alot of cases recently they have almost been cannibalizing each other...look at oldsmobile with the bravada as probably the best example you had that the envoy & trailblazer not to mention the blazer priced similarly...thankfully gm realized this but after the fact of course...also you have to keep in mind they put cars together for isuzu & rebadge them...I dont know what the deal is there & if its a good or bad thing but just something to add. Even the situation now buick has the reineir(sp?) which you can option for the 5.3 v8 as well as the isuzu version of the trailblazer whereas until the trailblazer SS or gmc envoy v8 come to market you cant get one with a v8 even those I believe they all sit on the same chassis
Some people like me just dont have faith in an I6 being able to tow anything other then a jet ski. I love gm products for the most part but they've just made so many errors over the last 10 years I've lost alot of faith...obviously their customers & even employees have as well.
