Overall, I'm not happy with the Pontiac plan.

The Caddy plan is spot on.

Chevy is a bit light on models (cars)

Buick is close to perfect. ( I'd change a few things).

Saturn needs some tweaking ( I'd Change the SKY quite a bit)

Saab I just don't really care about.

GMC is really good, but needs a bit more focus. ( I have always had trouble with the mix of "professional grade" and "upscale" trucks being part of one image).

But where I live there is a Buick-Subaru dealership and a Pontiac-GMC-Hummer-Saab dealership. Cadillac-Saab or B-P-G is basically impossible as rival companies own them. The Saab dealership used to have it's own building, but closed down, and they are in the Pontiac showroom now.
