The June 2nd Chicago Tribune had a graphic on General Motors as they were declaring bankruptcy.
US Annual Sales for 2008
Chevrolet-- 1.8 million
GMC-- 361,739
Cadillac-- 161,159
Buick-- 137,197
Hummer-- 27,485
Saturn-- 188,004
Pontiac-- 267,348
I would think that they should have, based on sales, dropped Cadillac or Buick before Pontiac. But Pontiacs are pretty close to Chevies, only sportier.
Years in operation for GM. The start dates were in five year increments on the bar graph, so might not be exact.
OLDSMOBILE-- 1905-2004
PONTIAC-- 1910- phased out 2010
BUICK-- 1905-present
CADILLAC-- 1909-present
GMC-- 1909-present
HOLDEN-- 1934-present
GM CANADA-- 1916-present
DAEWOO-- 2003- present (Woo What?)
SAAB-- 1990-present
VAUXHALL-- 1926-present (never heard of it)
OPEL-- 1929-present
