GM's Defunct Brands Almost Done

GM's Defunct Brands Almost Done

By Michelle Krebs May 3, 2010

Within the next couple of months, General Motors will be selling no more vehicles from its four brands it is eliminating as it will have no more to sell.

GM executives said Monday the automaker has only about 2,000 Hummer, Pontiac and Saturn vehicles in inventory, giving each brand in the triple digits and those should be gone in about 60 days.

During April, GM sold 52 Pontiacs, 373 Saturns and 481 Hummers. Ironically, it was Hummer's best sales month since August 2009 when GM sold 777 Hummers.

GM sold Saab to Spyker so Saab sales are no longer counted in GM's totals.

Buick-GMC chief Brian Sweeney said about 200,000 Pontiac owners have taken advantage of the free maintenance program offered by GM at Buick-GMC dealerships.

Chevrolet chief Jim Campbell said Chevy dealers are focusing on providing service to Saturn customers, and then will approach them on the sales side. -- Michelle Krebs, Senior Analyst and Editor at Large
