There have been Pontiac/Olds crossovers before; the most notable was the Cutless/Grand Am (in the 90's). My thinking is that Chevy is the Common Man's car (minus the Vette), and that Pontiac/Buick/GMC will be the slightly better then cars to Chevy, with Saturn being just above those (replacing Olds), and Cadillac at the top; Hummer and Saab will remain niche brands. Since the Solstice is the "lower" kappa model, GM had to make it's sister car with a "higher" brand like Saturn. I also think GM wants to keep Chevy free for the Camero, or other "high volume" car.sky_line said:
