No need for two trucks and two SUVs.

although that would make sense

never really understood the same car under multiple brands

 

[bulldogbaja]

they are supposed to have different enough trim levels to be considered different cars. the execution just isn't there. and it just doesn't work today anyway.

Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, Chevrolet/Cadillac. I can see Pontiac as RWD sports cars and Saturn as cheap, small cars. I know the justification but no reason to keep Buick or have GMC making anything smaller than a dump truck.

Nissan has the Armada and the Infiniti QX56, They are the same exact SUV except for the hood(56 also has 2 layers of clear coat,some of them).

Im not sure about the price difference, but I think its probably around 15-20 thousand dollars. Oh yeah and the emblem. Makes no sense
but people pay the differnce.

 

[JohnDawg]

Same frame, engine, same everything except interior features and like you said, the emblem. Price difference is probably around $10k for the loaded out Armada and loaded out QX56.

So Pontiac completely overlapped Chevy there with the Camaro, Impala SS, etc. GM has been an (internal) empire-building blob for decades. I think they should drop everything except Chevy, Caddy, and Saturn.
