So Chevrolet would give up its truck line - including commercial vehicles? Doesn't Chevrolet sell more trucks than GMC?

I guess my vision of GM is to eliminate duplication and redundancy. One of GM's bigger issues has to do with the number of dealers they have. For GM going forward less will be more. If there is a GMC dealer in a given area you can bet that there is a Chevy dealer within a few miles of it. GMC franchises are usually paired with Pontiac franchises and it is looking more like Pontiac will be gone. Why keep an anemic product line, GMC, in a badly weakened dealer network? Also why keep a smaller GMC dealer when there is a larger Chevrolet dealer nearby?

There is no difference between a GMC and Chevy truck and if the reason to keep GMC is due to "customer loyalty" then GM can offer a dealer installed "GMC Badge Kit".

If it were my decision to make GM would be Chevrolet and Cadillac products only. Much leaner and better able to survive.

This is about survival and not what would make a small fraction of the GM customer base happy. Otherwise, why not keep Hummer, Saturn and Saab?

Good .. I propose just keeping Chevy, Cadillac and GMC. Caddy for luxury vehicles while GMC is for the SUVs, truck and commercial division and Chevy is for everything else (I also propose keeping the Suburban within the Chevy division since it has history). This way, there is no cross-division vehicle that competes with one another.

Damn this sucks, Pontiac and Hummer are my favorite GM brands and it doesn't look like either of them will be around for much longer.

I would rather GM keep Pontiac over Buick. The brand image for Pontiac is younger than that of Buick's and I think that the G8 is a good full size car with a high performance pedigree.

What of GMC? Talk about redundancy…
