It's okay if they drop the brand but the cars that work/sale should be rebranded as other GM makes. I mean this mainly for cars like the G8, Aura, Astra, and the hybrid Vue. We all know GM needs a RWD passenger car like the G8, and a fuel efficient sport utility like the hybrid Vue. I always thought GM had to many brands. The more brands you have the more R@D and commercial/capital cost you have.

They didn't drop it, it is alive and well in Aussie-land, but it is a good thing they didn't bring it over. It was too much of a niche vehicle to make it here in the U.S.
