While there aren't as many Cadillac dealerships as there are Chevy dealerships, the three local Cadillac dealerships where I live (all within a 30 mile radius of where I live) were all recently rennovated and look from the outside and inside comparable to what Mercedes and Lexus dealerships look like. (But obviously w/out the treatment). Cadillac in that respect still needs to be stand alone. I do like how the Pontiac and GMC dealers were consolidated because putting GMC with any other brand wouldn't really make sense. But Hummer and Saab? Both smaller brands with smaller linups. I guess I could see it happenning. I tell you what though if you happened to be looking into leasing a Saab 9-3 or a Hummer H3 like I'm soon going to be it sure would save me a lot of driving to get to them.

Most people I know who fancy one brand also cross-shop the other, because if you like oversized semi-luxurious American metal you like it all. Saab is the black sheep in there. Saab is for New England profs, young mothers, the odd guy who wants to drive something semi-upscale but doesn't want to be seen in a Benz or BMW. Thsoe guys are not flashy, showy Caddy/Hummer material. There is no sense in lumping Saab with Caddy/Hummer, the demographics are totally opposite. Cadillac and Hummer go together.

Yes it is a luxury brand even though it doesn't give off that "luxury image" like Mercedes or like Lexus but it is luxury. I used to have a Saab 9-5 and it was a great car ran strong for me 120,000 miles before I traded it in. It may not have the most horsepower, or the i Drive, or the have all the crazy technology to make it stand out but for a vehicle its nice. There newest 9-3 Aero has a turbocharged v6 making 280hp and AWD, again not leading in the competition but the things it does right is:: Undercuts the competition in price and delivers a product for the people who don't want to be like everybody else. You know the people that says "well everybody has a BMW so let me buy one too!!" Saab does well on the east coast I heard since they have a lot of snow. People who own Saabs says they like it better than Audi's AWD so I've heard. Hey, before we knock off Saab, Saab is a nicely vehicle.

Do something exciting with Pontiac, after all, it's supposed to be your "enthusiast" brand. Move pick-ups/SUV's to GMC only and let Chevrolet handle sedans/cross-overs. Saturn can stay as an import brand for Opel. Keep Cadillac as the luxury division, but Buick...now they're in a tough spot. I know Buick does well in China and parts of Asia, so maybe GM should keep it there. GM, kill off Saab. Do something exciting with Pontiac, after all, it’s supposed to be your “enthusiast” brand.
