Re: Pontiac dealer offers to buy brand, GM says "Not For Sale"
If this makes sence, Pontiac is too intergraded into GM to become seperate. Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevy, Cadaliac, GMC, Buick are all part of the "main" office GM and use basically all the same engineers ect. To seperate Pontiac from GM would be like removing someones hand, very difficult and the hand wouldnt work without rest of you or spending billions of dollars to build a seperate object to use your hand.
Now Saturn, Opel, Saab, Holden all part of GM but have seperate engineers and/or main offices etc that work with GMs front office. Be like you walking away from your boss and starting your own company. Atlongest your boss is cool with it you can temerary use his equipment till your on your own feet and running which these companies will be doing in the next 5 years bascially.
Now Hummer is unique. GM only owns the consumer rights to build the Hummer and not the military versions. As GM only owns the right to the name of Hummer they can sell the name to anyone or kill it off and doent bother them. As they are just an "kitten apliance" to them, sell it or throw it away/stop using it doesnt really matter.
Now Vauxhall is more less now a Opel spin off brand that uses Opel and Holden vechiles. Being its just a spin off again, Opel or Holden prob can keep that brand or trash it as it doesnt matter, just all rebadge cars simular to Pontaic without the G8.
