That's just it. Saturn (Opel N.A.) actually makes very good cars at affordable prices. Why would GM want to get rid of it? If it were up to me, I'd delete the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and Hummer lines, and go with this:

Saturn (Full Line), Pontiac (G6, G8, Chev Camaro, Chev Corvette, rebranded Chevy Volt), GMC (Everything under 65k), Saab (9 line)

GM can't be everything to everyone anymore. They need to get rid of their high end, cause it can't compete, and get rid of the internal competition at the low end. Really, right now, GM is competing with itself, and frankly, hurting itself. Saturn =/= Pontiac =/= Chevrolet. But one bad Chev performance, and the other two are eliminated as "bad GM".
