Out of all of those I will only miss. Turbo X, G8, and Sky.
Um... if they get canned, does it mean Turbo X's be significantly discounted?

considering the rarity and demand shown for them so far, i would highly doubt it. you would be better off with a AWD Aero model and modding it

There's nothing that'll replace that feeling of getting a Hummer...

I like Pontiac, the styling is cool. Instead of dropping Pontiac all together I hope they can merge some of the models with Chevy. I do think GM should consolidate GMC with Chevy.

i don't think they will ever consolidate chevy and gmc. gmc makes their heavy duty trucks and then offers additional dealer coverage for the pickups. pontiac on the other hand will probably become a niche brand, and offer very products that can be found at chevy. i liked it when saturn offered unique cheap cars. they did well that way, shoulda kept it that way too. they had their own cheap SUV and their own cheap small car and midsizer. that was a winning strategy IMO

GM will look something like this...
Chevy and Caddy will be the Core brands. They will be full line dealers.
Pontiac will be a niche brand
Buick will be a niche brand, and start adapting Opel's styling
GMC will continue to do what they do
Saturn, Saab and Hummer are gone. All three of them would be a good buy for an Indian or Chinese company. Thier imagines arent tarnished, they are young brands in the US but visable brands, and they already have dealer networks set up.
IMO, thoes 3 could be turned into thier own company.
Saturn as the main line, Saab as the luxury car maker and turn Hummer into a luxury SUV maker like a LR.
