Default End of the line?

Personally, I have very mixed feelings about this. A while back GM
dropped
the Oldsmobile line due to poor sales and to cut costs. They also hinted
that another line .... either Buick or Pontiac .... would be on the
chopping block in the future if their financial situation didn't change.


So where is the problem? There really hasn't been a significant
difference between any of the GM lines for years. They all share
engines and body parts. I think they should just have Cadillac, a
truck company and an family car company covering the rest of the
range. I am still not sure this saves them but there should be some
savings there.


Some parts are even interchangeable with competitors.
