What I don't get is why keep GMC? The only reason I can think of is so all the Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealers can still survive.

GMC is the "classy" chevy. For those that want luxury but not a Caddy, IMO.

Saturn is a different thing though. They have a cult following!
Worked at a Saturn dealership, and when the Aura came out, it was met with a lot of distain, a car made of METAL!!! Where is my cheapo plastic mileage getter? As time went on, people saw the light.
Personally, I like the Aura better than the Malibu or the G6 on which the chassis is shared.
The vue is junk, too small for the milage it (doesn't) get.
The Sky is a rebaged Solstice, but some say it's better. It's a fun car if you get the redline version (turbo) as long as you only have one friend, and nothing to haul.
The Outlook is ok. Horse apiece with the Acadia, but a couple grand cheaper.
The Astra... now that is just dumb. All european, so it confuses the fuck out of customers, and as much money as the Aura, while underpowered.
Anyone that came to look at an Astra either went home with a Aura or a Mazda3. (Sold new Mazda's too)
